“…Volunteered geographic information (VGI) offers an intuitive method for the collection of geographic information (GI) through volunteering at a very low cost [1][2][3][4][5]. Probably one of the best-known example of VGI is the OSM project, contributed by users of varying mapping experiences [6].…”

OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a recent emerging area in computational science. There are several unexplored issues in the quality assessment of OSM. Firstly, researchers are using various established assessment methods by comparing OSM with authoritative dataset. However, these methods are unsuitable to assess OSM data quality in the case of the non-availability of authoritative data. In such a scenario, the intrinsic quality indicators can be used to assess the quality. Secondly, a framework for data assessment specific to different geographic information system (GIS) domains is not available. In this light, the current study presents an extension of the Quantum GIS (QGIS) processing toolbox by using existing functionalities and writing new scripts to handle spatial data. This would enable researchers to assess the completeness of spatial data using intrinsic indicators. The study also proposed a heuristic approach to test the road navigability of OSM data. The developed models are applied on Punjab (India) OSM data. The results suggest that the OSM project in Punjab (India) is progressing at a slow peace, and contributors' motivation is required to enhance the fitness of data. It is concluded that the scripts developed to provide an intuitive method to assess the OSM data based on quality indicators can be easily utilized for evaluating the fitness-of-use of the data of any region.

“…Using real maps first needs to access building footprints data and BS locations. As a result of current advancements on map data and their free availibility, such as the OpenStreetMap project [18], it is possible to access this information and use it as a powerful tool in our study. The authors in [11] used building footprints and real BS sites to validate their multi-ball model.…”

“…We obtained our building footprints data from OpenStreetMap project [38], which is an open source database. OpenStreetMap has the potential to engage volunteers from around the world, including less developed regions, and it is updated regularly [18]. According to the authors in [39], the OpenStreetMap database has a high positional accuracy…”

Millimeter Wave Small Cell Network Planning for Outdoor Line-of-Sight Coverage

The increasing spectrum demand drives next-generation wireless networks to use higher carrier frequencies. The millimeter wave band has orders of magnitude more bandwidth available and is considered as an important candidate for providing most of the capacity in a future heterogeneous network. Moreover, network densification is necessary for enhanced capacity and high-rate coverage. However, deploying a very large number of the base stations might be prohibitively costly. We develop an outdoor small cell millimeter wave network planner and minimize the number of base stations for line-of-sight coverage. This thesis consists of two proposals.First, we estimate the base station densities required for small cell line-of-sight millimeter wave networks. To find the answer, we develop an automatic outdoor network planner by first, placing many candidates on the map and then, selecting a subset of candidates to minimize the total number of base stations and ensure a high percentage outdoor coverage. We run our simulations over two large dense urban areas. Our results show the effects of city layout on the millimeter wave networks.Second, we design a wireless backhaul network planner to further reduce the deployment cost by reducing the number of wired connections in the network. We integrate millimeter wave line-of-sight wireless backhauling into our network planner and minimize the number of wired connections required. The results indicate the advantages of wireless backhauling to reduce the small cell deployment cost.iii
