LoRa Field-Test P2P CAN Telemetry Dataset

This dataset provides real-world packet-level measurements of point-to-point LoRa communication carrying CAN telemetry. It is intended for analysing wireless reliability and communication-performance trade-offs across LoRa configurations and link distances. The measurements span distances from 6.25 m to 100.0 m, spreading factors SF7-SF12, signal bandwidths 62.5/125/250/500 kHz, and effective transmit powers of 2/12/20 dBm. The dataset includes packet-loss indicators, per-configuration PER, RSSI, corrected RSSI, filtered RSSI variants, airtime, timing fields, and energy estimates. Tests were conducted step by step: at each distance point, all configurations were automatically swept with bidirectional REQs and ACKs during testing, then the hardware was reset at each new distance. The experiments use point-to-point LoRa without a LoRaWAN MAC layer. The tested configuration space includes distances from 6.25 m to 100 m, spreading factors SF7–SF12, bandwidths of 62.5, 125, 250, and 500 kHz, and effective transmit powers of 2, 12, and 20 dBm. The dataset includes packet-level records, configuration-level packet-loss statistics, fixed experiment constants, a configuration manifest, and an airtime lookup table.
