Mobility characteristics for multimedia service adaptation

In personal communications systems, it is an emerging necessity to adapt services prior to delivery according to up-to-date customer profiles and mobility behaviors. Therefore, it is important to determine distinct mobility descriptors that would successfully model the entire sample space of different mobility characteristics. The aim of this paper is to define unique descriptors that are to be extracted from mobility patterns of a single mobile user and to investigate the level of distinctness of each defined descriptor. We finally show how the studied descriptors can be used in service adaptation.
