Filtering mobile spam by support vector machine

Currently mobile spam has been a major menace to the development of wireless networks. In this paper, the mobile spam problem and its countermeasures are analysed. In particular, we propose a Support Vector Machine to filter mobile spam. This mobile spam filtering system can be deployed in current wireless networks and achieve good performance in protecting end users and operators from mobile spam. Legislation issues and challenges to defend mobile spam are also discussed in the latter part of this paper.
