Abstract :
Considering the characteristics of mobile network, we import three important parameters: distribution density of mobile phone, coverage radius of Bluetooth signal and moving velocity of mobile phone to build an epidemic model of mobile phone virus which is different from the epidemic model of computer worm. Then analyzing different properties of this model with the change of parameters; discussing the epidemic threshold of mobile phone virus; presenting suggestions of quarantining the spreading of mobile phone virus
