SCOS Sensor is a work-in-progress reference implementation of the IEEE 802.15.22.3 Spectrum Characterization and Occupancy Sensing sensor, developed by the Institute for Telecommunication Sciences (ITS), the research and engineering arm of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). SCOS Sensor implements a RESTful API which allows authorized users to discover a sensor's capabilities, schedule actions, and acquire resultant data.
SCOS Sensor was designed by NTIA/ITS with the following goals in mind:
- Easy-to-use sensor control and data retrieval via IP network
- Low-cost, open-source development resources
- Design flexibility, to allow developers to evolve sensor technologies and metrics
- Hardware agnostic
- Discoverable sensor capabilities
- Task scheduling, using start/stop times, repeat intervals, and/or task priority
- Standardized metadata/data format that supports cooperative sensing and open data initiatives
- Security controls to prevent unauthorized users from accessing sensor functionality
- Easy-to-deploy with provisioned and configured OS
- Quality assurance of software via automated testing prior to release
Read more about the overall design of SCOS on the Overview wiki page.
A recommended starting point is Tutorial 1, which will guide you through getting SCOS Sensor up and running locally on your computer. This tutorial uses a mock signal analyzer, so no sensor hardware is required. Once you've got up and running, read further on the wiki about Configuring SCOS Sensor and Hardware Support. If you're interested in contributing to SCOS Sensor, check out the Development Guide for relevant information.
