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.
Please update it each time you introduce discussion about a new database field.

'''* Add the value cellid in long/short-format in measurements_.csv/cell_towers.csv'''
 
 
'''* Add the value RNC (Radio Network Controller) in measurements_.csv/cell_towers.csv (UMTS)'''
 
 
'''* Add latitude and longitude from the calculated real position in the cell_towers.csv (Real place from the base station)'''
 
 
The actual position from the most cells is the middle from all measurements.
 
 
With the value signal maybe it is possible to calculate with the best signals (ASU = 31 or -51 dBm) the best calculated real place from the base station.
 
 
The value for the real latitude/longitude can used in example from a clf-import.
 
 
At the moment it is a mix with the middle and clf-import with the real position.
 
 
The real postion is useful for the apps G-Mon, G-NetTrack or RF Signal Tracker to create a cellfile or show alayer with the base stations.
 
 
 
Calculated middle from the cell:
 
 
changeable=1:
 
the GPS position of the cell tower has been calculated from all available measurements
 
 
 
Real position from the cell:
 
 
changeable=0:
 
the GPS position of the cell tower is precise; no measurements have been used to calculate it.
 
 
 
Example:
 
 
latitude_middle, longitude_middle, latitude_real, longitude_real
 
 
 
'''* Add the value cellrange.'''
 
 
With the value cellrange you can add the simple way for triangulation (see example google).
 
 
For this you use the calculated middle.
 
 
Lat=45.641502
 
 
Lon=8.812474
 
 
'''Range=1177 m'''
 
 
 
Example with the calculated middle and cellrange:

This page including its sub pages is intended for compiling all ideas on how to expand the information stored in the OpenCellID database.

The following data base tables are currently discussed:

Please use the "Discussion" page of each of the above sub pages 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 thess topics.
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.
