In 2007, the Wireless Network and Communications (WiNCom) Research Center at the Illinois Institute of Technology initiated a continuous RF spectrum measurement program in the frequency range 30 MHz to 6 GHz. The data measurement collection, now multiple Terabytes, was historically stored in a flat file format on multiple hard drives which was efficient and easy to deal with from a data collection perspective, but not very effective from an analysis and sharing perspective. This paper describes the data capture structure, the new database and data storage approach that has been created to enable large scale, "safe storage", and to facilitate data queries and RF measurement analysis by researchers both inside and outside of IIT's network, and some of the application that have been implemented using this new structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
