Abstract:

Due to the proliferation of mobile networks and services, accessing online video services via mobile devices becomes increasingly popular, which generates huge data traffic and increases the cellular network load. It is valuable to characterize the usage patterns of different video services for network optimization and user experience enhancement. In this paper, we adopt a data-driven approach to investigate the usage patterns of three newly popular and major kinds of mobile video services: personalized livestreaming, user- generated video service, and traditional video portals. Based on the empirical analysis of a large dataset including 0.45 million users and 25 million logs, we find that 1) users have high loyalty in the same type of video services; 2) difference on the traffic peaks in consecutive days exists among different kinds of services; 3) personalized livestreaming services contributes a larger portion of video traffic, which still increases after midnight at weekday in the downtown. Finally, based on these findings, we discuss their implications and insights for network optimization and video service enhancement.
