  • Abstract
    Recently the mobile service is gaining a rapid expansion, which has brought a lot of concerns in various areas of researches. As a major business of the mobile services multimedia messaging service (MMS) has the very important research values. In this paper we have carried out a detailed measurement on the multimedia messaging service social network. According to the measurement results, the MMS social network shows a small world property. This social network complies with the power law distribution and has a small average path as well as a high clustering coefficient. The node degree correlation of MMS is different from other kinds of social networks. The geographical property is also an important factor which affects the users´ behavior. Finally we discuss the status of huge degree nodes in the MMS social network.
