Abstract

Mobile phone usage has changed significantly over the past few years and smartphone data usage is still not well understood on a statistically significant scale. This Letter analyses 2.1 million smartphone usage data values and explore the current wireless downlink-uplink demand asymmetry for different time periods and across different radio access networks. The current data demand over 2G networks remains largely symmetric with strong temporal variations, whereas the demand over 3G networks is asymmetric with surprisingly weak temporal variations is shown here.
