Mobile social networks have the lion's share in modern mobile telecommunications, and their interaction with the underlying infrastructure networks has attracted significant attention due to its impact on resource management. In this article, we present and demonstrate a framework for addressing such interplay between online social networks and wireless communications by exploiting principles from the theory of utility-based engineering and elements from social network analysis. We aim at a holistic design framework that allows the joint development of improved resource management mechanisms for future mobile wireless infrastructures and their social counterparts.
