Automatic event-triggered call-forwarding mechanism for mobile phones

Abstract

Call forwarding is a traditional telecom service that allows a user to forward incoming calls to another telephone number. call-forwarding algorithm (CFA) for mobile phones. By installing a software in a smartphone, call forwarding is automatically triggered (e.g., when the phone is plugged in a charger or is turned off) or disabled (e.g., when the phone is unplugged from the charger or is turned on). We investigate the performance of the CFA through analytic analysis, simulation, and measurement. Our study indicates that CFA is very feasible for commercial usage.
