User mobility analysis in mobile communication systems
Summary:
The main focus of this thesis is on using data analytics to extract information from telecommunication data, specifically using data from the Telecom Italia Big Data Challenge. Time and spatial analysis is applied to the data to gain a better understanding of user patterns of network usage. In addition to that, this thesis also employs Gaussian processes and correlation matrices as data analytics tools. These methods are used to predict network usage needs and the thesis includes a thorough examination of these tools and their application on the data. The thesis also includes an analysis of GPS data of vehicle traffic in the same areas in order to compare telecommunication and car traffic and investigate any correlations between them. The findings from this research can be useful in determining network handover needs in specific areas and optimizing network coverage. Sequences of scripts are developed for each part of the analysis, with multiple examples provided and with the aim of drawing conclusions about the performance of these methods. The overall goal is to use data analytics to extract actionable insights and improve network performance in telecommunication systems.
