Abstract

According to the propagation characteristics of Bluetooth and SMS/MMS,based on the preventive immunity and mutation of mobile phone virus, we built the Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Recovered(SEIR) model for the Bluetooth and SMS/MMS hybrid spread mode. On the basis of the SEIR model, we further discuss at length the influence of the propagation parameter such as preventive immunity of mobile phone users, mutation of virus, immunity structure in SMS/MMS network and node average degree in Bluetooth network on the propagation of the virus. Simulation results show that the model can simulate the spread process and features of mobile phone for hybrid spread model perfectly.
