A cloud platform for distributed spectrum sensing

Abstract

This paper describes the architecture and the implementation of a spectrum sensing platform based on cloud computing. The system collects information from distributed sensors scattered around a specific area for further analysis. The system is designed in layers, including layers of sensor device, console terminal, cloud server management, application development and consumers from bottom to up. Data-directed method is taken to ensure the extendibility of the system. The TCP/IP is wrapped by AMQP for simple and reliable network connection. Finally, we introduce some practical applications running on the cloud platform.
