Ericsson 5G NSA network RF and throughput measurements on AERPAW network

This dataset provides comprehensive radio frequency (RF) and throughput measurements from an Ericsson 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) network captured during a UAV zigzag flight mission conducted by the AERPAW platform on September 15, 2023. Utilizing a Small Portable Node SPN3 equipped with a Quectel 5G Modem, measurements were taken at yaw45 and yaw315 orientation across 30 m altitude. This dataset specifically details the network's performance under two sectors operating on LTE and NR technologies, capturing essential metrics such as RSRP, SINR, CQI, MCS, and throughput under varying flight conditions. The objective of this collection is to provide a detailed empirical basis for evaluating 5G NSA deployments in dynamic UAV applications, contributing valuable insights into the network behavior under mobility and different environmental conditions. The dataset is intended for researchers and engineers focusing on 5G performance analysis, network optimization, and UAV-based communication system..., , , # Ericsson 5G NSA Network RF and Throughput Measurements on AERPAW Network
