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.

This dataset provides valuable insights into Received Signal Reference Power (RSRP) measurements collected by User Equipment (UE) devices strategically positioned within a moving train, featuring the hexagonal frequency selective pattern on its windows. Additionally, it includes RSRP values obtained from an external reference source using the rooftop train antenna.

All the data in this dataset corresponds to the research conducted in our work titled  "Enhancing Mobile Communication on Railways: Impact of Train Window Size and Coating". 

As discussions around 6G begin, it is important to carefully quantify the spectral efficiency gains actually realized by deployed 5G networks as compared to 4G through various enhancements such as higher modulation, beamforming, and MIMO. This will inform the design of future cellular systems, especially in the mid-bands, which provide a good balance between bandwidth and propagation.

This dataset provides valuable insights into Received Signal Reference Power (RSRP) measurements collected from four User Equipment (UE) devices strategically positioned within a moving train. 

Additionally, it includes RSRP values obtained from an external reference source using the rooftop train antenna, all systematically interpolated on a cell and frequency basis, with both datasets available.

Fifth Generation 5G cellular network users are increasing exponentially, where 5G coverage is a challenge for global telecommunications to provide end-users with maximum Quality of Experience (QoE). 5G technology New Radio (NR) is developed  to address high bandwidth, low latency and massive connectivity requirements of enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) compared to Fourth Generation (4G) Long-Term Evolution (LTE).

Predicting the behavior of real-time traffic (e.g., VoIP) in mobility scenarios could help the operators to better plan their network infrastructures and to optimize the allocation of resources. Accordingly, we propose a forecasting analysis of crucial QoS/QoE descriptors (some of which neglected in the technical literature) of VoIP traffic in a real mobile environment.

This dataset includes real-world Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) values from UEs connected to real commercial LTE networks in Greece. Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) is a metric posted by the UEs to the base station (BS). It is linked with the allocation of the UE’s modulation and coding schemes and ranges from 0 to 15 in values. This is from no to 64 QAM modulation, from zero to 0.93 code rate, from zero to 5.6 bits per symbol, from less than 1.25 to 20.31 SINR (dB) and from zero to 3840 Transport Block Size bits.

This data set is for the paper titled:
