S-Gen: Tool for Generating Distributed Spectrum Occupancy Data

The purpose of this document is to outline the current development of a general tool, called S-Gen, for generating correlated spectrum occupancy data over a distributed sensor system. The tool is meant to model much of the physical layer effects on spatio-temporal spectrum occupancy and the associated losses. An object-oriented approach is taken to create sensors and emitters in a distributed environment. This allows for the generation of synthetic spectrum occupancy data that can be used for testing spectrum occupancy fusion models and algorithms.
