Abstract
This dataset was developed in the context of the NANCY project and it is the output of the experiments involving streaming a virtual reality (VR) video in a 5G coverage expansion scenario. Additionally, iPerf3 experiments in both TCP and UDP modes were carried out. The coverage expansion scenario involves a main operator and a micro-operator which extends the main operator’s coverage and can also provide additional services.
The dataset includes network traffic, which was captured and stored in a .pcap files, as well as various performance metrics that were collected by an xApp running in the near-real-time Radio Access Network Intelligent Controller.
Instructions:
The data were collected when the user equipemnt (UE) is directly connected to the main operator (topology A) and when the UE is connected through the micro-operator’s network (topology B). In detail, the following data and metrics are collected in each operator:
1. Network traffic from multiple gNB stack layers (.pcap files).
2. RAN metrics exposed to the near-real-time RIC by the E2 interface (.csv files).
3. Network traffic from the 5G CN that was captured using tcpdump (.pcap files).
4. Network performance metrics exported by iPerf3 (.json files).
Under each topology, two sub-scenarios are included, namely 1) when the wireless propagation environment is optimal (e.g., the UEs are close to the BSs, there are no obstructions, etc.), and 2) when the wireless propagation environment is sub-optimal due to the distance and obstructions.
Finally, for each category five experiments were conducted (i.e., iPerf3 TCP/UDP modes, VR video in FHD, 2K, and 4K resolutions) resulting to a total of 20 experiments.
The data generated while running the iPerf3 experiments are included in the iPerf folders. Two types of files are used for storing the data, namely .pcap files and .json files. The .pcap files store network traffic, while the .json files store various statistics. Additionally, the data generated while running the VR video streaming experiments are included in the VR_FHD, VR_2K, and VR_4K folders. Two types of files are used for storing the data, namely .pcap files and .json files.
