Abstract

User interests and behavior will play a key role in the design of future mobile networks. In this paper, we introduce a novel technique for the modeling of mobile users interests based on their online activity and mobility. In this study, we conduct domain-specific and location-based analysis and modeling of mobile user interests based on the amount of their online time. Using KS test, we show that domain-specific and location-based models provide more accuracy than a generic model for mobile users interests. The provided models can be applied for design and evaluation of a myriad of interest-based applications and services for future mobile global Internet.
