Abstract
In this paper, we present and evaluate the outcomes of a measurement
study amongst Android mobile device users, who volunteered their
device-level network activity data through a newly developed mobile
application in January 2013. We evaluate the submitted data in two
hour time intervals with respect to device-level network traffic
amounts, application network activity times, and data distribution
(as measure of connectivity) between mobile (cellular) and wireless
LAN networks. We find fairly homogeneous values with low levels of
autocorrelation or long range dependence for the device-level amounts
of data, but an indication for self-similarity for the summed application
network usage times, which are positively correlated. In addition,
we observe that the average distribution for cellular interface usage
exhibits clear patterns for the day of the week as well as the time
of the day. The combination of these findings can find direct utilization
in future mobile device utilization modeling efforts.
