Abstract
The fourth-generation (4 G) cellular network is currently the dominant mobile technology used worldwide. The analysis of the network behavior can help forecast the traffic and thus improve the network. The characterization of mobile user behavior can be useful in evaluating the emerging concepts. We collected traffic traces on a commercial multi-band 4 G cell to better understand and model the network and user behavior. We evaluate the network utilization, the number of connections, and the uplink and downlink cell achieved throughput. In addition, we analyze and identify statistical models that describe the connection inter-arrival time, connection duration, and connection size. The results show daily and weekly patterns that depend not only on the time of day but also on the frequency band. We find that the frequency band and time of day have a limited impact on user behavior. On the contrary, the connection inter-arrival time strongly depends on the frequency band.
第四代（4 G）蜂窝网络是目前全球使用的主流移动技术。对网络行为的分析有助于预测流量，从而改进网络。移动用户行为的特征描述有助于评估新兴概念。我们收集了一个商用多频段 4 G 小区的流量轨迹，以便更好地理解网络和用户行为并建立模型。我们评估了网络利用率、连接数以及上行和下行小区的吞吐量。此外，我们还分析并确定了描述连接到达间隔时间、连接持续时间和连接大小的统计模型。结果显示，每天和每周的模式不仅取决于一天中的时间，还取决于频段。我们发现，频段和时间对用户行为的影响有限。相反，连接到达间隔时间与频段密切相关。
