Abstract 

The dataset was collected in the actual outdoor environment of Dalian, China, with specific areas carefully selected to encompass a diverse range of environmental characteristics. These environments are extensive, including not only the urban center with high-rise office buildings and high population density but also suburban areas with scattered low-rise buildings and relative tranquility; additionally, they encompass major urban arteries with constant traffic flow and urban side streets with lighter traffic.

Within a specific time frame, we systematically collected wireless fingerprint information from the aforementioned selected areas. The real-time data obtained from a single measurement is comprehensive, specifically including: (1) precise location parameters of the positioning device; (2) detailed network parameters of the current serving cell (i.e., the network base station connected to the device); and (3) network parameters of all neighboring cells (i.e., other potential connectable network base stations in the vicinity) detectable by the device.

During the fingerprint data collection process, we employed a dynamic tracking method, where the collection device was mounted on a moving vehicle traveling at normal driving speeds, with fingerprint data recorded every 100 milliseconds. This high-frequency continuous collection strategy enabled us to efficiently gather continuous and dense fingerprint information along the streets.

Instructions: 

Cellular network sensors enable real-time measurement of data required for fingerprint localization through AT commands.
The real-time data of a single measurement includes:
1. location parameters of the device.
2. network parameters from the cell served by the device.
3. network parameters from all neighboring cells to which the device is connected.

In the case of LTE mode:
1、Measuring device real-time position parameters have the following format:
AT+QGPSLOC=0
+QGPSLOC: 123415.0,3851.3714N,12131.0460E,0.6,46.0,2,137.07,0.0,0.0,241022,08
OK
3851.3714N, latitude
12131.0460E, longitude

2、Measuring network parameters from a serving cell has the following format:
AT+QENG="servingcell"
+QENG:"servingcell",<state>,"LTE",<is_tdd>,<mcc>,<mnc>,<cellid>,<pcid>,<earfcn>,<freq_band_ind>,<ul_bandwidth>,<dl _bandwidth>,<tac>,<rsrp>,<rsrq>,<rssi>,<sinr>,<srxlev>.
OK
Example:
AT+QENG="servingcell"
+QENG: "servingcell","NOCONN","LTE","FDD",460,01,122E503,74,1650,3,5,5,B03,-68,-10,-37,14,53
OK

3、Measuring network parameters from neighboring cells has the following format:
AT+QENG="neighbourcell"
+QENG:
"neighbourcell intra","LTE",<earfcn>,<pcid>,<rsrq>,<rsrp>,<rssi>,<sinr> ,<srxlev>,<cell_resel_priority>,
<s_non_intra_search>,<thresh_serving_low>,<s_intra_search>
OK
Example:
AT+QENG="neighbourcell"
+QENG: "neighbourcell intra","LTE",1650,74,-6,-68,-41,-20,53,6,20,2,60 (neighboring cell 1)
+QENG: "neighbourcell inter","LTE",50,-,-,-,-,-,-,0,8,7 (neighboring cell 2)
+QENG: "neighbourcell inter","LTE",325,-,-,-,-,-,-,0,8,6 (neighboring cell 3)
OK
