Mohamed A. Zawra, O.E. Emam, M. Elemam Shehab . A Survey of Call Detail Records (CDR) Analysis. International Journal of Computer Applications. 185, 13 ( Jun 2023), 27-29. DOI=10.5120/ijca2023922808
Call Detail Records (CDR) is one of the most important sources of information that could be used in many different aspects and ways to help the community. It is one of basic criminal activity detection techniques and it also creates new prospects for the telecommunication field. Never the less the analysis of CDR is not an easy task as it contains a huge amount of data with different varieties making it seen as a big data source. Consequently, big-data techniques and tools need to be employed to extract insights from such data. Not only that but also different graphical tools could be used for analyzing the huge amount of extracted data. There are many different challenges needed to be addressed when handling CDR. This survey paper presents what is CDR, how and why is it being used. Finally, it reviews the proposed frameworks in the literature that analyze the CDR to help prevent criminal acts.
