I think you could use the ramp-up input in JMeter to do the initial part
of your requirements. The ramp-down sounds complex: I think you will
have to write some Java code to do that. 

I was interested in doing something similar - a 'surge test' that,
increases traffic by 10 for 3 minutes once an hour, before sleeping for
another hour. I intend using a separate thread group for the surge
effect, inserting a 57 minute delay at the end, and keep it looping as
the 'normal threads' continue to run. 

Perhaps you could use individual thread groups with delay timers to
achieve the effect you want.

With regards,
