Real deployment data for cellular networks can be very convenient when elaborating simulation scenarios in scientific papers. In the following, we present an automation tool that enables to extract the geographical data of the base stations for the mobile operators in France. | Real deployment data for cellular networks can be very convenient when elaborating simulation scenarios in scientific papers.

- | ===== Output at a Glance | + | ===== -- Prerequisites |
+ | You need a working python distribution with the following packages: | ||
+ | * [[https:// | ||
+ | * [[http:// | ||
- | 1- Go to http://www.antennesmobiles.fr/, select the antenna types, the city and copy the antenna ids (at the bottom of the page) in a text file (see for example orange-3G-rennes.csv) | + | You also need to have a valid subscription on the [[http://www.cartoradio.fr/cartoradio/ |
+ | ===== -- Method of Operation | ||
- | 2- Go to http://www.cartoradio.fr/cartoradio/web/, select the same city and download the data (you should sign in and you will receive date by mail) | + | 1. Download or fork my repository from [[https://github.com/samerlahoud/cellular-network-map | GitHub]]. |
- | 3- Open python antenna-coordinate-generation.py and make the necessary modifications (mainly pointing | + | 2. Launch |
- | 4- Launch the python | + | python antennes-mobiles-crawler.py 75014 |
+ | |||
+ | You should obtain a text file named '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | 66007; 2G 3G 4G; BOUYGUES TELECOM; 1995-09-01; 2014-09-26; 156 R LÉON MAURICE NORDMANN; 75013; PARIS-13E--ARRONDISSEMENT; | ||

+ | |||
+ | The only missing information is the geographic position of the antennas. For this, you need the information from [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | 3. Go to [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | 4. Launch the coordinate generation | ||
+ | |||
+ | python antenna-coordinate-generation.py 75014 orange 4G | ||
+ | |||
+ | * The first argument is the postal code. | ||
+ | * The second argument is the operator name and must be chosen from: orange - free - bouygues - sfr | ||
+ | * The last argument is the network type: 2G - 3G - 4G | ||
+ | |||
+ | 5. Watch back and enjoy! | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== -- Output at a Glance ===== | ||
+ | The output of the previous script consists of three files: | ||
+ | * A command file '' | ||
+ | * A figure plot of the antenna positions '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | * A figure plot of the Voronoi diagram (the set of points in the geographic area closer to each antenna) '' | ||
