Cross-Layer UE–Base Station Dataset for Handover Analysis

This dataset consists of radio measurement and mobility data collected from both the network (gNB) and user equipment (UE) perspectives during multiple drive tests conducted between two sites near the University of Utah. The sites are equipped with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) radio units, and measurements were obtained using Nemo (Keysight) tools and gNB logs.

The dataset is provided as two separate files:

1. gNB-side measurementsThis file contains network-side radio information with the following columns:

timestamp

current_pci (serving cell ID)

neighbor_pci

serving_rsrp

neighbor_rsrp

2. UE-side measurementsThis file contains device-side measurements along with location data:

Time

Latitude

Longitude

Physical cell identity (NR) (serving PCI)

Physical cell identity (NR neighbor)

RSRP (NR SpCell)

RSRP (NR neighbor)

Together, these files provide complementary views of radio conditions and mobility events, supporting analysis of handover behavior and signal quality in outdoor vehicular scenarios.

The dataset can be used to evaluate and optimize mobility parameters (e.g., time-to-trigger) and to study issues such as unnecessary or “ping-pong” handovers along vehicle trajectories.
