Mobile Traffic Analysis: a Survey
Résumé
This report surveys the literature on analyses of mobile traffic collected by operators within
their network infrastructure. This is a recently emerged research field, and, apart a few outliers, relevant
works cover the period from 2005 to date, with a sensible densification over the last three years. We
provide a thorough review of the multidisciplinary activities that rely on mobile traffic datasets, identifying
major categories and sub-categories in the literature, so as to outline a hierarchical classification of research
lines. When detailing the works pertaining to each class, we balance a comprehensive view of state-of-
the-art results with punctual focuses on the methodological aspects. Our approach provides a complete
introductory guide to the research based on mobile traffic analysis. It allows summarizing the main findings
of the current state-of-the-art, as well as pinpointing important open research directions.
