Abstract
Methods and arrangements for ascertaining mobile presence regions. Mobile telephony data are obtained for a user, and a location of the user is tracked for a plurality of timepoints. The tracking includes forming and populating a user presence table. With respect to incomplete information in the user presence table and based on data in the user presence table, a location of the user for at least one other timepoint is estimated.
