This dataset contains traces of 802.11p packets, collected in a rural area located in the periphery of Aachen (Germany) in 2012, with the presence of an RF jamming signal with constant, periodic, and reactive jamming patterns.This dataset contains several tracesets of 802.11p communications with the presence of an RF jamming signal. The RF jammer has different patterns of operation, namely constant, periodic, and reactive jamming. The observations were performed in a rural area located in the periphery of Aachen in Germany.date/time of measurement start: 2012-08-15date/time of measurement end: 2012-08-23collection environment: For the outdoor measurements, we carried out experiments in a rural area located in the periphery of Aachen in Germany. The area has two perpedicular roads. A main road that has a length of 600 m and a 120 m long side road. The line-of-sight along the main road (about 300 m) is shorter than its total length due to a slight descending slope of that road. Furthermore, the area between main road and side road exhibits a slight elevation of the ground that can block line-of-sight along the diagonal path between both roads. The amount of traffic in the area is negligible with only few sporadic cars. This open space scenario offers a low dispersive propagation environment, as there are no obstacles or buildings between or surrounding the vehicles.network configuration: For the measurements, we used the Wireless Open-Access Research Platform (WARP) boards for implementing the jammer. The WARP boards provide an 802.11-like OFDM design on FPGA and a 10MHz bandwidth 802.11a/g RF transceiver, which allows transmission at frequencies up to 5.875 GHz, hence, covering 802.11p channels 172 and 174. For both the transmitter and receiver, we used NEC Linkbird 802.11p connected to a laptop Asus Eee PC running a java application to generate traffic (transmitter) and to retrieve information from the packets received at the linkbird (receiver). All reported measurements were carried out at 5.86 GHz, which corresponds to the lowest channel (Ch.172) of the frequency band allocated to 802.11p communications and is meant for public safety communications. The omni-directional antennae used in our measurements are designed to work at the 5.0-6.0 GHz band and yield a 6 dBi gain. In every experiment, the transmitter sends packets with 17.48 dBm of transmit power, at a data rate of 6 Mbps (QPSK 1/2), payload length of 100 Byte and at 100 packets per second.The signal from every jamming profile has 16.75 dBm. The constant jamming signal is characterized by a 2.71 ms ON phase and a 10 microseconds OFF phase. The periodic jamming signal is characterized by a 64 microseconds ON phase and a 10 microseconds OFF phase. The reactive jamming (12 microseconds, 500 microseconds) profile has an energy detection threshold of -75 dBm, a reaction delay of 12 microseconds, and lasts for 500 microseconds. The reactive jamming (40 microseconds, 500 microseconds) profile has an energy detection threshold of -75 dBm, a reaction delay of 40 microseconds, and lasts for 500 microseconds.data collection methodology: Log files from a java application was used along with the traces generated by the two linkbirds, plus the gps readings, assess the impact of the jammer.Tracesets movementTraceset collected in an open field rural area located in the periphery of Aachen in Germany. The area has two perpedicular roads, a main road that has a length of 600 m and a 120 m long side road. We used different RF jamming profiles and different distances between nodes for the measurements.files: uportorwthaachen-vanetjamming2014.tar.gz, reactive_12_500.tar.gz, reactive_40_500.tar.gzmethodology: We place the jammer at the end of the side street and the transmitter at the crossroad. The receiver moves along the main road, which results in varying SINR values. The transmitter sends packets to the receiver at a rate of 100 packets per second. This procedure is repeated for reactive jamming (12 microseconds, 500 microseconds) and reactive jamming (40 microseconds, 500 microseconds) profiles. format: trace.txt is a text file generated from the linkbird the contact where a certain device is seen with the timestamp information, from where the packet is from, the type and size of packet. java.txt is a text file generated from java application running in the laptops.

We used different RF jamming profiles, distances between nodes, effective output power of the jammer for the measurements.files: constant_vary_jammer_att.tar.gz, constant_vary_tx_rx_distance.tar.gz, periodic_vary_jammer_att.tar.gzmethodology: We place the jammer at the end of the side street and the transmitter at the crossroad. The receiver is placed at different positions along the main road. The different node configurations result in varying SINR values. For every receiver position, the transmitter sends packets to the receiver at a rate of 100 packets per second over 2 minutes. This procedure is repeated for a representative subset of the available jamming patterns, namely constant and periodic. We additionaly reduced the effective output power of the jammer by adding attenuators between the RF output of the WARP board and the antenna to obtain further different values of average SNIR at the receiver.format: trace.txt is a text file generated from the linkbird the contact where a certain device is seen with the timestamp information, from where the packet is from, the type and size of packet. java.txt is a text file generated from java application running in the laptops.
