Accurate traffic dimensioning plays an important role in telecommunications network planning and is particularly important for the performance analysis of mobile and wireless networks. The main goal of cellular operators now a day with the increasing number of mobile subscribers is to keep the subscribers satisfied with the delivered quality of service ( QoS ) . Traffic analysis & optimization ...

A large number of people already own a mobile phone. In the eHealth area, the usage of this mobile device is becoming more and more popular. Patients can install small applications on their devices that help or guide them in certain situations. Additionally, the mobile devices can be used to transmit all kind of physiological parameters electronically. These parameters are stored on a special s...

In this paper, we introduce a unified approach for the adaptive control of 3G mobile networks in order to improve both quality of service (QoS) for mobile subscribers and to increase revenue for service providers. The introduced approach constantly monitors QoS measures as packet loss probability and the current number of active mobile users during operation of the network. Based on the values ...

Mobile data offloading leverages more affordable or even free network capacity to reduce the traffic experienced by cellular operators through their limited over-the-air resources. One way to harvest free capacity is to employ the white space, namely, frequencies that are assigned to licensed users but are not actively utilized, as long as no harmful interference is generated. In this article, ...

The presence of multimodal sensors on current mobile phones enables a broad range of novel mobile applications. Environmental and user-centric sensor data of unprecedented quantity and quality can be captured and reported by a possible user base of billions of mobile phone subscribers worldwide. The strong focus on the collection of detailed sensor data may however compromise user privacy in va...

Now that the number of cellular phone subscribers is over 1.6 billion in the world and over 180 million in the United States, it is an appropriate time to consider Asia, the “new” wireless economy, with respect to mobile telephony. Several major cellular phone service providers chose Korea as a testing ground to assess the effects of third generation (3G) technology and deployment. Several Kore...

Mobile service usage has become an important research topic in the field of MIS. In the past decade, research results have important implications for marketing managers with regard to the development of mobile services or advertising content employed to increase a consumer’s intentions to use. We consider that a customer is not only a service user, but also the partner of a firm. Therefore, we ...

Machine-to-machine communication has attracted a lot of interest in the mobile communication industry and is under standardization process in 3GPP. Of particular interest is LTEAdvanced support for various M2M service requirements and efficient management and handling of a huge number of machines as mobile subscribers. In addition to the higher throughput, one of the main advantages of LTE/LTE-...

With the recent introduction of third generation (3G) technology in the field of mobile communications, mobile phone service providers will have to find an effective strategy to market this new technology. One approach is to analyze the current profile of existing 3G subscribers to discover common patterns in their usage of mobile phones. With these usage patterns, the service provider can effe...

The twenty-first century is marked with exponentially increasing development of technologies that provide wireless communications. To the pollution of the atmosphere with radio and TV signals, not only satellite communications but also any varieties of the Wi-Fi networks are added. By 2010 in the USA, 285 million mobile phone subscribers have been registered (for a little bit more than 300 mill...
