Trace-Based Analysis of Mobile User Behaviors
and explain the major issues below. In these traces, each unique mobile node (MN)
is identied by its MAC address.*
ese traces are chosen to represent dierent environments and dierent time
periods of the studied WLAN deployments. We study the dierences and similari-
ties of user behavior in these traces and try to attribute them to the underlying dif-
ferences in the corresponding environments as appropriate. e MIT, Dartmouth,
University of Southern California (USC), and University of Florida (UF) traces
collect measurements of generic WLAN users in a corporate ...
