Radio KPI & Latency Measurement of Cellular and Satellite Networks for Evaluating Multi-Connectivity Solutions in Livestock Transport Monitoring in Rural Areas

Data Description

This dataset, developed as part of the Horizon Europe COMMECT project, contains KPI measurements from 5G and satellite links collected by the Denmark Living Lab. The measurement campaign was conducted in the northern part of Denmark to evaluate the performance of a multi-connectivity solution aimed at ensuring seamless connectivity for monitoring livestock transport in rural areas. The dataset focuses on the integration of cellular and satellite links to address connectivity challenges in these regions.

The measurements include data from two 5G NSA (Non-Standalone) cellular operators and a satellite link. Each row represents a recorded data point, capturing critical radio parameters and latency performance.

Included Parameters:

Time: The timestamp indicates when the measurement was recorded.

RSRP (dBm): Reference Signal Received Power, representing the signal strength.

RSRQ (dB): Reference Signal Received Quality, reflecting the signal quality.

SNR (dB): Signal-to-Noise Ratio.

Latency (ms): The two-way time delay measured in milliseconds.

The dataset provides a foundation for analyzing multi-connectivity performance for delay-sensitive applications. It allows researchers to study the impact of latency on critical use cases, such as ensuring timely updates during livestock transport in rural areas. By comparing latency metrics across 5G and satellite links, the dataset helps evaluate the suitability of different network configurations for applications where low latency is crucial to maintaining seamless operations and decision-making.

The dataset is used in the following research papers:
