The purpose of this paper is to develop Profile Change application that runs on Android platform. This is the first version of its kind and is developed based on Android platform. The goal of this paper is to find mobile when it is in silent mode and forgot where it is placed. In present days the entire world mobiles are using very rashly so the people are expecting some new technologies in mobiles...
Call Detail Records (CDRs) are a primary source of whereabouts in the study of multiple mobility-related aspects. However, the spatiotemporal sparsity of CDRs often limits their utility in terms of the dependability of results. In this paper, driven by real-world data across a large population, we propose two approaches for completing CDRs adaptively, to reduce the sparsity and mitigate the problems...
We are all people who have a definite location, but our intuitions about people and their locations are not always correct. Fortunately, researchers have been looking at how people behave with respect to location, and they have discovered surprising facts that do not necessarily match our assumptions. For example, as technologists, we tend to assume that people have strong concerns about their location...
Thanks to the fact that Belgium is a densely populated country, and also lags behind in the roll-out of Long Term Evolution (LTE) / 4G, it is still possible to visit areas enjoying different Radio Access Technology (RAT) coverages within a limited territory. This paper reports an analysis of the dataset of web requests collected through a field survey mostly performed in south-western Belgium and...
This demo presents the architecture of GENI (Global Environment of Network Innovations) [1] edge cloud computing network in the form of compute and storage systems, a mobile 4G LTE edge and a high speed campus network. GENI's edge computing strategy proceeds by deploying self-contained packages of network, computing, storage resources, or GENI Racks [2] connected via high speed fiber to LTE BS(s)...
In recent years, as higher performance terminal equipments are spread, the amount of mobile data traffic is growing rapidly by using popularization of streaming services in wireless networks. To overcome this situation, it is considered that Access Points (APs) are deployed densely for capacity improvement. In such an environment, virtualization is a possible technique to use multiple APs efficiently...
Mobile Crowdsensing is a promising paradigm for ubiquitous sensing, which explores the tremendous data collected by mobile smart devices with prominent spatial-temporal coverage. As a fundamental property of Mobile Crowdsensing Systems, temporally recruited mobile users can provide agile, fine-grained, and economical sensing labors, however their self-interest cannot guarantee the quality of the sensing...
The consideration of mobile web page and service access for optimization schemes requires a detailed interpretation that goes beyond the commonplace evaluations of HTTP-delivered objects. Evaluating mobile browser interactions with popular web sites, we note that a non-negligible amount of data is delivered with HTTPS and web site interactions could almost exclusively rely on HTTPS delivery of their...
Opportunistic Mobile Social Networks (MSNs) are a type of delay-tolerant networks that are composed of mobile nodes with social characteristics. Most of current research on forwarding algorithms for MSNs leverages the properties of social networks, such as community and centrality. However, the fundamental property, interaction, has not received sufficient attention. The effects of interactions consist...
Lack of network availability or limited access to communication services are among the challenges that public safety officials and first responders could face during disasters. Networking infrastructure can partially (or sometimes fully) breakdown during a catastrophe. At the same time, unusual peaks in traffic load could lead to much higher blocking probability for critical communication. A possible...
The exponentially increasing demand for higher data rates has pushed the mobile network operators and researchers to scout for ways to improve the system bandwidth, most notably by using the unlicensed band which already hosts long-standing technologies like Wi-Fi. Of late, some effort has gone into exploring the performance of Licensed-Assisted Access (LAA) which can boost the bandwidth of LTE by...
In mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), when information about the location of the destination node is known, efficient communication can be achieved by using location-based routing protocols. Even in location-based routing protocols, with omnidirectional antennas there is some redundant route discovery by blind flooding of route request packets outside the area between the source and destination. These...
In this work, the problem of maintaining and guaranteeing communication connectivity between a pair of “client” agents via controlling a number of “router” agents is considered. It is assumed that agents satisfy quadrotor dynamics. A set of controllers are proposed and it is shown that these controllers solve the problem exponentially fast under a set of mild assumptions. The simulation results illustrate...
With the continuous improvement of 4G communication technologies and the popularity of smart mobile devices, the mobile Internet quickly involves into the people's life and work, and more and more users are accustomed to using mobile phones, tablet PCs and other mobile devices for shopping and consumption. But these goods purchased online will result in the problem of idle items at home. Therefore,...
A cross-platform mobile client remote services invocation mechanism is proposed in this paper based on remote process call (RPC) aiming to solve the difficulties of communication between different mobile clients, such as the complexity of invoking process, code duplication, and maintenance. The proposed method tackles the problem of repeated coding caused by different languages and APIs used in different...
Nowadays social networking services (SNS) have become an important part of our daily-life. Thanks to the rapid development of mobile computing technologies, more and more people start to use mobile devices, e.g., smartphones and tablets, to access the SNS. Different from the traditional way, i.e., using the desktop PCs to access the web interface of the SNS, using mobile devices will introduce more...
The smartphone market and the technology of mobile networking have been quite mature. Undoubtedly, smartphones have become an essential communicative tool in people's daily life. The rapid prevalence of smartphones can be attributed to a variety of factors. The mobile operating system (mobile OS), the so-called mobile platform, is definitely the most crucial factor. To probe into potential factors...
The prevalence of wearable devices brought questions about their impact on user habits, use cases and future developments. Will users continue to use smart phones even if they have high capacity wearable devices? If that will be the case, for which reason people will continue to carry smartphones with them? User mobility and soft application usage correlation is an important research area for setting...
Mobile ad-hoc network is networks that are collection of mobile device that can communicate and share information between each other, without any predefine infrastructure or centralized system. Another challenge in MANET is energy constraints because each of the mobile nodes is operated by limited energy battery. This paper presents a new on-demand power saving routing algorithm for mobile ad-hoc...
