We analyze a city-wide dataset of 4G mobile network traffic obtained directly from user-side logs, allowing fine-grained analyses of different application services over time and space. We group applications in classes and analyze their traffic patterns: the analysis reveals great heterogeneity in the usage of different applications and in their space/time correlations, with important implications for future networking services such as network slicing and resource allocations.
