Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Various embodiments monitor user mobility in a wireless communication network. In one embodiment, a set of temporally related call detail records associated with at least one user of a wireless communication network is analyzed. A set of base stations accessed during at least one call associated with the set of temporally related call detail records is identified based on the analysis of the records. At least one road segment of a road network within a threshold distance to each of the set of base stations is identified. A set of mobility information for the at least one user indicating that the at least one user traversed the at least one road segment is stored based on identifying the at least one road segment.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method, by an information processing system, for monitoring user mobility in a wireless communication network, the method comprising: analyzing a set of temporally related call detail records associated with at least one user of a wireless communication network, wherein the set of temporally related call detail records comprises a sequence of call detail records generated within a threshold period of time; identifying, based on the analyzing, a set of ba…
