Abstract

This paper discusses location-based mobile services. The problem of counting mobile users (mobile phones) in a selected area is considered. The information available from the analysis of wire-less protocols (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) is used for the calculation. The aim of the study is to construct an analog of systems of web statistics operating with real mobile subscribers (instead of data on web page visits as in web statistics). As a result, we obtain information about traffic, identification and analysis of trends in user traffic, search for the core of regular visitors, and detection of its dynamics. The paper presents algorithms for calculating network proximity and examples of use.
