Mobile subscriber profiling and personal service generation using location awareness

Abstract

In the mobile environment, the location and the next move of subscribers are important. In this study, a method to detect the next move of the subscribers is proposed. In addition to the categorization of subscribers by using their Internet usage history, the knowledge of the next move pattern of subscribers will provide the flexibility to guide them to decide the next move. During the tracking of subscribers, the mobile devices of the subscribers are used as sensors to get indepth knowledge about their preferences in their social life. The method presented here is the first in the literature to estimate the next move without connecting to any social networks. It combines the geographic locations and the Internet usage of the subscribers in order to predict their movement. In addition, most of the IoT studies either concentrate on network topologies or power consumption, while in this study, dynamicity and exact location estimation are utilized to handle the challenges and attain the required results. The results of the experiments show that the proposed system predicts the next move of a subscriber with a precision of more than 90 percent. © 2018 University of Suceava.
