Revision as of 19:32, 1 February 2014

This page is intended for compiling all ideas on 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 and concerns on this subject.

The plan is to keep this discussion going for a few weeks and decide what to implement when it becomes obvious that no additional new information is contributed regarding this topic.
In cases where there are different opinions regarding a feature, a vote similar to the votes in OpenStreetMap, which is a proven mechanism, will be initiated.

Due to the current work load of the developer, it is unlikely to start with the implementation of the enhanced database scheme before summer 2014; therefore, there is enough time in 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 a 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 on 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
manufacturer string the manufacturer from the mobile phone (LGE, Samsung, Apple) measurements_.csv all
model string the model from the mobile phone (Nexus 4) measurements_.csv all
version string the version (firmaware) from the mobile phone (4.1.2 for Android 4.1.2) measurements_.csv all
asu signalstrength as value asu  ??? measurements_.csv all At the moment there is value signal a mix between asu and value in dBm
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
speed string Speed of the phone / tracking device when recording the measurement measurements_.csv all the field already exists in the database but the measurement unit is not clear (m/s or km/h or mph)
gps_quality string GPS quality of the phone / tracking device when recording the measurement measurements_.csv all there might be issues with the values provided by the different devices; maybe storing the device type is required
