Wireless Network Coverage in the Wild: A Multi-City Multi-Operator Data Set

It is a large-scale data set of wireless network coverage for over 22,000 4G base stations in France. This data set is generated by applying VoronoiBoost and official sources of base station deployment. The data covers ten main metropolitan areas in the country, encompassing a variety of dense urban, suburban and rural areas. The coverage information in each area is reported separately for the four major mobile network operators active in France.or each base station in the data set, coverage is represented as a set of polygonal shapefiles, each associated with a given probability that end terminals associated with the base station are located within the polygon.The data set substantially improves current practices for cellular coverage representation in large-scale studies, which primarily rely on plain Voronoi tessellations of the geographical space. As such, the data set can support data-driven networking research where coverage overlap or interference are vital factors and multidisciplinary investigations based on network metadata that needs to be mapped on the territory.
