A couple of suggestions for improvement of this tool:
- detect and report number of Tx antennas used by each cell (1,2 or 4). This should be detectable from the CRC part of the MIB. - report whether the LTE system uses TDD or FDD.
I am surprised that today I find 4 cells on 796 MHz and 5 cells on 806 MHz. I did not expect this dongle to be so sensitive.
Detected the following cells: C: CP type ; P: PHICH duration ; PR: PHICH resource type CID fc foff RXPWR C nRB P PR CrystalCorrectionFactor 388 796M 369h -44 N 50 N one 0.99998386356929225283 449 796M 349h -48 N 50 N one 0.9999838380560712725 389 796M 358h -48.3 N 50 N one 0.99998384936395678935 52 796M 359h -49.2 N 50 N one 0.99998385073518580857
Detected the following cells: C: CP type ; P: PHICH duration ; PR: PHICH resource type CID fc foff RXPWR C nRB P PR CrystalCorrectionFactor 108 806M 359h -42.3 N 50 N one 0.999983844979292269 372 806M 255h -42.9 N 50 N one 0.99998371629218352208 109 806M 215h -44.1 N 50 N one 0.99998366727140031163 235 806M 244h -44.6 N 50 N one 0.9999837021424591299 365 806M 849h -48 N 50 N one 0.99998445366580002158
I would now like to log the received power for each cell ID in a log file, and later plot it. I am interested how this power changes over time, especially under varying weather conditions.
