Abstract:
The important role played by cliques in identifying cohesive subgroups of people has been theorized and explored by sociologists years ago, but only recently investigated in large-scale social networks. In this paper we focus on the interplay between cliques established by on-phone communications and the urban locations their members share each other. The results about co-located cliques has been achieved through the extensive analysis of a large anonymized dataset of Call Detail Records (CDR) relying on the phone activities of nearly 1 million people in the city of Milan. Taking the cue from the observation of cliques, the paper envisions and designs a novel clique-support service for mobile users by fully exploiting the current virtualization process that is radically transforming the core network of mobile operators. The approach we propose brings together a few important contributions: first, it concretely shows that the current NFV-enabled trend of placing cloud services at the edge of the operator's network is viable and may have a payoff in terms of traffic offloading and improved user's experience; secondly, it demonstrates for the first time that a few typical cloud-based services can effectively be directly performed inside the mobile network by simply leveraging the rich amount of data about users' location and mobility behavior.
