Abstract 

This dataset serves as the Geolocation Database for TV White Space. The dataset contains channel information and availability data. The channel information has the following columns: CHANNEL, COMPANY_NAME, DIGITAL, CALLSIGN, LATITUDE, LONGITUDE, LOWER_BAND, UPPER_BAND, TX_FREQ, ERP, TX_PWR. CHANNEL refers to the channel used, expressed in CH + channel number. COMPANY_NAME is the company name of the primary user. DIGITAL has a value of 1 when it use a digital transmission, otherwise it has a value of 0. CALLSIGN is the callsign of the primary user. LATITUDE and LONGITUDE tells the latitude and longitude of the transmitter in degrees North, since Greater Manila Area lies completely in the northern hemisphere. LOWER_BAND and UPPER_BAND are the lower and upper band frequencies, respectively in Megahertz (MHz). TX_FREQ is the transmission frequency in MHz. ERP refers to the Effective Radiated Power of the transmitter in kilowatts (kW) and TX_PWR is the transmission power in kW.

The channel availability data contains the columns DAY, TIME, and the availabilities of the channels. The DAY contains the days of the week. The TIME represents the time of the day in 24-hour hh:mm format. The channel availability columns are named the same way as the channels in the channel information (CH + channel number). For instance, the column CH4 gives the availability of Channel 4. The availability has a value of 1 when it is available (off-air) or 0 when it is not available (broadcasting).

The data on channel information and channel availability are obtained from online sources and to the best knowledge of the researchers gathering the data. In addition, the database can be updated.
