Radio and Network KPI measurements for evaluating performance of multi-connectivity solutions in high-mobility environments

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 campaign was conducted on a highway crossing the Jutland peninsula (Denmark) to evaluate the performance of multi-connectivity solutions in high-mobility environments. The dataset focuses on the integration of cellular and satellite links to address connectivity challenges in these regions.

The measurements include data from one 5G cellular operator and a satellite link. Each row represents a recorded data point, capturing critical radio parameters and latency/throughput performance.

The data, presented in Matlab *.m format, is structured with the name “X_Y_Z”, where: (i) X indicates the type of technology studied, i.e., cellular or satellite, (ii) Y indicates the KPI analyzed, i.e., Round-Trip Time (RTT), Downlink Throughput (Mbps) or Uplink Throughput (Mbps), and (iii) Z indicates whether the measurements correspond to mobility (on the highway) or static, performed as a reference at Aalborg University.

Included Parameters:

Time: The timestamp indicating when the measurement was recorded.

Latitude: GPS coordinates for latitude.

Longitude: GPS coordinates for longitude.

Round-Trip Time / Downlink Throughput / Uplink Throughput: The measured data round-trip time and/or transmission rate.

RSRP (dBm): Reference Signal Received Power, representing the signal strength (only available in the cellular link).

RSSI (dB): Received signal strength indicator, representing the signal strength (only available in the cellular link).

RSRQ (dB): Reference Signal Received Quality, reflecting the signal quality (only available in the cellular link).

SNR (dB): Signal-to-Noise Ratio (only available in the cellular link). 

The dataset provides a foundation for analysing multi-connectivity performance in high mobility scenarios and is used in the following research paper:

The dataset is available as a ZIP file containing the processed measurement data and the associated research.
