Please refer to the README for information about SCOS Sensor in the meantime.

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
