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. 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. |
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 | ||

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 |
