Add support for uploading exact BTS GPS locations
Created by: E3V3A
Background: We can already upload BTS measurements to OCID, but we cannot tell them when we have an exact GPS position of a certain cell tower. Understandingly, the reason is that it could seriously damage their database. However, the possibility to have exact GPS positions for all BTS in the downloaded data is extremely helpful for our purpose.
In OCID this is provided by the changeable
column, which is the opposite as we have in the isGPSexact
in our DBe_import
table.
MLS does already support both download and upload (?) for exact positions.
What we have to do is:
- (a) Add MLS support to both our BTS Upload and Download code. (See #446)
- (b) Allow to manually enter an exact GPS tower position (see #309), and
- (c) subsequently analyze the position within or App. (I have two very good ideas here.)
- (d) Add appropriate settings for selecting what to download/upload.
As (b,c) would also require an additional DB table, called BtsLoc
, I've also added the DATABASE
tag to this issue.
