Mobile network performance measurement is important for understanding mobile user experience, problem diagnosis, and service comparison. A number of crowdsourcing measurement apps (e.g., MobiPerf [4, 6] and Netalyzr [5, 7]) have been…
Crowdsourcing enables the fine-grained characterization and performance evaluation of today's large-scale networks using the power of the masses and distributed intelligence. This paper presents SmartProbe, a system that assesses the…
As the demand for mobile connectivity continues to grow, there is a strong need to evaluate the performance of Mobile Broadband (MBB) networks. In the last years, mobile "speed", quantified most commonly by data rate, gained popularity as…
The growing use of supervised machine learning in research and industry has increased the need for labeled datasets. Crowdsourcing has emerged as a popular method to create data labels. However, working on large batches of tasks leads to…
In this paper we introduce the idea of estimating local topology in wireless networks by means of crowdsourced user reports. In this approach each user periodically reports to the serving basestation information about the set of…
Mobile (cellular) networks enable innovation, but can also stifle it and lead to user frustration when network performance falls below expectations. As mobile networks become the predominant method of Internet access, developer, research,…
Collecting and analyzing meaningful data in mobile networks is the key to assessing network performance. Crowdsourced Network Measurements (CNMs) provide insights beyond the network layer and offer performance and other measurements at the…
Crowdsourcing models applied to work on mobile devices continuously reach new ways of solving sophisticated problems, now with a use of portable advanced devices, where users are not limited to a stationary use. There exists an open problem…
Pervasive applications over large-scale, distributed embedded devices and the Internet of Things (IoT) demand precise coordination with the network; for example, several such applications, like collaborative video streaming and live…
Effective assessment of mobile network coverage and the precise identification of service weak spots are paramount for network operators striving to enhance user Quality of Experience (QoE). This paper presents a novel framework for mobile…
Mobile devices are rapidly becoming the primary computing device in people's lives. Application delivery platforms like Google Play, Apple App Store have transformed mobile phones into intelligent computing devices by the means of…
To be able to measure relevant data for transport infrastructure monitoring and to obtain maintenance indicators in a crowd sensing-based fashion, a set of requirements (both from hardware and software points of view) needs to be satisfied.…
In this study, we investigate the resource management challenges in next-generation mobile crowdsensing networks with the goal of minimizing task completion latency while ensuring coverage performance, i.e., an essential metric to ensure…
Understanding network and application performance are essential for debugging, improving user experience, and performance comparison. Meanwhile, modern mobile systems are optimized for energy-efficient computation and communications that…
We propose a mobile crowdsourced sensors selection approach to improve the journey planning service especially in areas where no wireless or vehicular sensors are available. We develop a location estimation model of journey services based…
Data exchange through mobile devices is rapidly increasing due to the high information demands of today's applications. The need for monitoring the exchanged traffic becomes important in order to control and optimize the device and network…
Many smartphone apps transmit personally identifiable information (PII), often without the users knowledge. To address this issue, we present PrivacyProxy, a system that monitors outbound network traffic and generates app-specific…
Effectively measuring, understanding, and improving mobile app performance is of paramount importance for mobile app developers. Across the mobile Internet landscape, companies run online controlled experiments (A/B tests) with thousands of…
In recent years, there have been efforts to collect human contact traces during social events (e.g., conferences) using Bluetooth devices (e.g., mobile phones, iMotes). The results of these studies have enabled the ability to do the…
Mobile crowdsourcing refers to systems where the completion of tasks necessarily requires physical movement of crowdworkers in an on-demand workforce. Evidence suggests that in such systems, tasks often get assigned to crowdworkers who…
