This page is intended to compile all ideas how to improve the information stored for each measurement / cell in the main OpenCellID database.

Please use the "Discussion" page for discussing the various ideas, concerns etc.

It is planned to keep this discussion going for a few weeks and when it becomes obvious that no additional, new information is contributed regarding this topic then it will be decided what to implement.
In case there are different opinions regarding one or the other feature it is intended to initiate a vote similar to the votes in OpenStreetMap, which is a proven mechanism.

Due to the current work load of the developer it is unlikely to start with the implementation of the enhanced database sceme before summer 2014, so there is enough time from that perspective to discuss the OpenCellID database evolution briefly.

The following table contains the list of potential additional fields of the database according to the current status of the discussion.
Please update it each time you introduce discussion about a new database field.

Field name Data type Description Filter criteria Formula (if computed) Affected components Technology Comment
LCID string concatenation of RNC and CID
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7240038/utran-cell-identity-returned-by-getcid
measurements_.csv / cell_towers.csv UMTS
RNC string Radio Network Controller measurements_.csv / cell_towers.csv UMTS
RGPS string Real GPS position (changeable=0) cell_towers.csv all Currently EITHER the real GPS position OR the computed GPS position is provided in cell_towers.csv depending if the fix GPS position is available or not. The intention of this field is to provide the calculated GPS position as well as the fix GPS position in case the fix GPS position exists.
SGPS string GPS position of measurement with best signal The closer the signal is to ASU=31 or -51 dBm the better it is cell_towers.csv all
CGPS string GPS position computed from all measurements of all cells being a sector of the same base station Average of all GPS positons of all measurements of all cells being a sector of the same base station cell_towers.csv all
cell_range  ??? cell_towers.csv all
zip_code cell_towers.csv all
city string cell_towers.csv all
street_name string cell_towers.csv all
housenumber string  ??? cell_towers.csv all
other_address_information string cell_towers.csv all
altitude string GPS altitude measurements_.csv all
tower_height integer height of the tower/building above ground cell_towers.csv all how to enter this data?
technology string GSM/UMTS/LTE ??? measurements_.csv / cell_towers.csv all
bcch string Der Broadcast Control Channel ist ein Downlink-Kanal in GSM, der dem Endgerät Informationen über die aussendende Zelle liefert. Dies sind z. B. die PLMN-Kennung des Netzes, Cell-ID, Location Area, Kanalstruktur, Zugriffsbeschränkungen, Verfügbarkeit von Datendiensten und Frequenzen der Nachbarzellen. measurements_.csv / cell_towers.csv all
