A complex network view on traffic flows of mobile internet

Nowadays, complex network theory has been widely used in different fields. It is well adapted to analyze various networks with huge scales. This paper uses complex network theory to analyze traffic flows of mobile Internet. By analyzing users and traffic distribution profiles, we find strong correlation between the number of users and the traffic volume per user. We also analyze the degree distributions of users and servers respectively, and the results show the degree distributions of users are not completely in line with power law. However, both strength distributions of users and servers follow power law. We find servers with high degree or high strength occupy most of the resources in the network. Moreover, the increasing characteristic of server centrality is also indicated. These characteristics will help people further understand traffic of mobile Internet and mobile user behavior.
