Mobile Phone Data
Call Detail Records (CDR)
● Passively generated when a subscriber: ○ Makes or receives a call ○ Sends or receives an SMS ○ Uses mobile data
● Routinely stored by MNOs for billing purposes
Passive Signalling Data
● Passively generated when a mobile device connects to the network
● More frequent than CDR data
● Storage depends on MNO
Active Signalling Data
● Mobile device locations determined by sending out an active ‘ping’
● Used irregularly and at a significant cost to MNO
● Subscribers may opt-out from certain uses
What is Mobile Phone Data (MPD)
Strengths
● High penetration globally
● High quality data
● Near-real-time
● High granularity
● Already generated by organisations
What are the strengths and limitations of MPD?
Limitations
● Precision limited by cell tower density
● Representativeness of mobile phone subscriptions
● One subscription may not represent one individual, and vice versa
● Access requires agreement with MNOs
● Large datasets requiring suitable data infrastructure

Nowhere is this more apparent than in the case of mobile and wireless communications.
Mobile phones overtook fixed lines in 2002 on a global scale (Figure 1.1), when the strategic importance of mobile phones had become clear not only in the developed world, but also in the developing world. (...) Nokia’s 7380 model looks more like a chocolate bar than a mobile phone. The mobile keypad is replaced by a scroll wheel. (...) Disney Mobile will be the first mobile phone service to turn GPS into a tool controlled by the consumer, by enabling parents to use the technology to locate their children either via their own Disney Mobile phones or by logging on to a protected Disney site.

Delay Roundtrip ─ the pie slice represents the measured roundtrip delay of the mobile phone in the Bluetooth® connection. The pie slice is scaled in ms.
(...) EC ─ the pie slice indicates status of echo cancellation algorithm implemented in the mobile phone. The verification of the active echo cancellation algorithm in the mobile phone after receiving the “AT+NREC=0” command from the Bluetooth® reference interface is scaled in a similar way. (...) The Bluetooth® reference interface communicates via the Hands-Free Profile (HFP) to the mobile phone under test. A narrowband and wideband Bluetooth® connection can be setup depending on the capability of the mobile phone, in particular if the mobile phone supports the wideband Bluetooth® connection using the mSBC codec.
