Santhi School of Computing, SASTRA University, Thanjavur-613401, India Abstract: Mobile communication is rapidly emergent articulation of the communication surroundings. Users move to the various location and access various services to accomplish their requirements in mobile environment. These location navigation and service invocation are characterized as a Mobile User Behavior Pattern (MUBP).User behavior pattern analyses mobile user’s destination point and their service utilization. Region pattern inquires the details of users target location. Access pattern specifies the services utilized by mobile users. User behavior pattern provides better quality and good services to the mobile users in time. User behavior patterns are not only helpful for user, but also for service providers. Analysis of user behavior pattern gives benefit to the users by invoking the services without traffic congestion problem and to the service providers by contributing the immediate response to mobile users. This study analyzes the behavior of user pattern in detail related to existing work of 24 authors from the past few years. Keywords: Access pattern, congestion problem, Mobile User Behavior Pattern (MUBP), region pattern, service provider INTRODUCTION In recent days wireless communication plays a vital role among the users. Mobile communication has become a very important and swiftly growing technology as it allows users to transmit data from remote field to other remote or fixed fields. Various surveys reveal that the mobile users’ behaviors exhibit various measures of reliability. Mobile user behavior pattern consists of detailed information of service requirements and mobility models that is essential to Quality of Service (QoS) and roaming support. Most of the users in a mobile environment do not travel at arbitrary. They voyage from place to place with specific purposes in mind. The most prominent feature of wireless networks is mobility support, which enables mobile users to communicate with others in spite of location. There are numerous factors that persuade the performance of a mobile environment, including the infrastructure (the number and location of the access points), the number of active users, their mobility and traffic patterns, the wireless technology at hand and so on. Through the base station, Mobile users are connected to the network by means of wireless link. Base stations are classified into clusters and connected to server. It is authoritative for synchronizing base stations to provide information services. The Behavior pattern is a progression of location navigation, service invocation, the concurrence of location and service. Mobile users can travel to various locations and invoke the services through base station. Location and services may or may not be same for different users. Some users may move to same location Fig. 1: Mobile computing architecture and access same services. Others may move to same location and access different services. These are illustrated as region pattern and access pattern. Mobile users can reach the destination tower through various intermediate towers. The Threshold value is set commonly for all the towers in all base station. There is a chance for towers having more number of users against a threshold value. This leads to a serious problem in traffic. To avoid this problem, behavior pattern concept is included in the existing method. If the tower contains more number of users than the specified threshold value, service provider has to allot alternate path to reach the destination.
