Understanding user behavior is essential for source optimization in mobile networks, including urban planning, road traffic engineering, and content distribution. In this paper, we take the first step to investigate the basic characterization of user behavior over 340,000 users of a 4G mobile network in a large metropolitan area. Our study is carried on from two aspects: mobility and application usage...
There has been explosive growth in Mobile Personal Livestreaming (MPL) market since 2016.

After passing through many hierarchical management levels, the information tends to distort, which may lead to decreased efficiency, and poor ability to adapt to external changes. We provide a new kind of flat management modes based on mobile Internet. With the mobile social App, the human relations are flattened, which means the information can breakthrough level barriers and be immediately exchanged;...
Mobile phone communication is an important part of human life. Nowadays a great variety of scientific works are dedicated to the investigation of the calls and cellular networks. Efficient analysis of such networks can be a great source of the information useful for reconstruction and simulation of social phenomena. The main goal of this work was to understand how much information can be obtained...
‘You cannot step into the same water twice’, in other words ‘change is law of life’ and ‘everything changes and nothing stands still’ said Heraclitus, a prominent Greek Philosopher. In this similar line Changes in consumer behavior is not an exception as consumers are a dynamic and progressive and who change themselves according to the signs of time. This paper delves into the fact of changing consumer...
With the popularity of mobile Internet, smart phones and location-based services, Mobile Social Network in Proximity (MSNP) has attracted more and more attentions, for which trustworthy service discovery and its associated latency are two important issues. In this paper, after overviewing MSNP and trustworthiness for service discovery in MSNP, we discuss the major issues and potential solutions of...
Open education offers higher education opportunities for underprivileged communities and solves the problem of deficit in learning resources, such as human and material resources, throughout developing countries. Open education, however, has certain challenges in terms of dependency on the Internet. The use of mobile devices is expected to aid in meeting these challenges. Mobile learning (m-learning),...
Cybercriminals are changing their strategies as users are less concerns on the smartphone and social networks security risks such as spams, that will threaten them as they are more dependent on the smartphone [1]. Thus, there's a need to perform the smartphone forensics analysis to retrieve and analysed the potentially great amounts and extremely valuable information on these devices. This paper investigates...
This paper discusses causes of the sluggish growth rates of mobile learning in a developing country (Botswana), despite the mobile phone revolution and proposes future directions in application of mobile technology to enhance education in emerging economies.
Online social networks have long been studied by researchers to unearth the common patters of socializing among human beings. Recently, there is considerable interest in Internet-of-Things which is an interaction of smart physical objects augmented with sensing devices. However, there is hardly any research on intra-smart object interactions and interactions among smart physical objects and humans...
