I-BiDaaS - TID - Synthetic Mobility Data

This is a synthetic data stream based on real-time, cell network events. These events are picked up by the antennas that are closer to the mobile phone thus providing an approximate location of the device. Every transaction of a mobile phone generates one of those events. A transaction can be, for instance, placing or receiving a call, sending or receiving an SMS, asking for a specific URL in your mobile phone browser, or sending a text message or a data transaction from/to any mobile phone app. There are also some synchronization events like, for instance, turning your mobile phone on or off, or when switching between location area networks (relatively big geographical areas comprising several cell towers).
