Overview
These figures show the elevation view (on the left), the bird view (on the middle) of the street and the surroundings in scenario 31 (on the right). The field of view (FoV) of the base station (Unit 1) is highlighted.
Scenario 31 is collected in an outdoor wireless environment representing a two-way city street. The DeepSense Testbed 5 is deployed in this environment with two active units, a receiving basestation (Unit 1) and a car (Unit 2) that transmits and is mobile. The transmitter (Unit 2) constantly transmits using one antenna element of the phased array to realize omnidirectional transmission. The receiver (Unit 1) continuously scans the surrounding environment using a receive mmWave beam steering codebook of 64 beams and by measuring the receive power with each beam. The average sampling rate is 10 samples/s. Each data sample includes an RGB image, a 64-element receive power vector, a 3D LiDAR image, and an FMCW radar signal, all collected by Unit 1.
McAllister Ave: It is a two-way street with 2 lanes, a width of 10.6 meters, and a vehicle speed limit of 25mph (40.6 km per hour). It is worth mentioning here that since this is a city street, vehicles of various sizes and travel speeds pass in both directions. This creates a diverse pool of blockages for the LOS link between the transmitter and receiver, which results in diverse received power maps (i.e., diverse power fluctuations across all 64 beam over time instances) and a diverse dataset.

How to Access Scenario 31 Data?
Step 1. Download Scenario Data
Step 2. Extract the scenario31.zip file
Scenario 31 folder consists of three sub-folders:
- unit1: Includes the data captured by unit 1
- unit2: Includes the data captured by unit 2
- resources: Includes the scenario-specific annotated dataset, data labels, and other additional information. For more details, refer to the resources section below.
The scenario 31 folder also includes the “scenario 31.csv” file with the paths to all the collected data. For each coherent time, we provide the corresponding visual, wireless, and GPS data.
Resources
What are the Additional Resources?
Resources consist of the following information:
- data labels: The labels comprises of the ground-truth beam indices computed from the mmWave received power vectors, the direction of travel (unit2), and the sequence index
- additional information: Includes the scenario-specific additional data. Details of the information is provided below
Data Labels
The labels comprises of the ground-truth beam indices computed from the mmWave received power vectors, the direction of travel (unit2), and the sequence index.
- Ground-Truth Beam: The phased array of unit 1 utilizes an over-sampled beamforming codebook of N = 64 vectors, which are designed to cover the field of view. It captures the received power by applying the beamforming codebook elements as a combiner. For each received power vector of dimension [64 x 1], the index with the maximum received power value is selected as the optimal beam index.
- Sequence Index: During the data collection process, the mobile transmitter (unit2) travelled multiple times in front of the base station (unit1). For each run, the testbed collects multiple data samples. All the data samples with the same sequence index belongs to the same run
Additional Information
We, further, provide additional information for each sample present in the scenario dataset. The contents of the additional data is listed below:
- index: It represents the sample number
- time_stamp [UTC]: This represents the time of data capture in “hr-mins-secs-ms” format
- unit2_num_sats: For each data sample, it is an integer value representing the number of connected satellites at that time instant
- unit2_spd_over_grnd_kmph: This represents the speed of mobility of Unit 2. Unit 2 is carried on a vehicle.
- unit2_mode_fix_type: This shows whether or not there was a 3D fix. A 3D (three dimensional) position fix includes horizontal coordinates plus altitude. It requires a minimum of four visible satellites.
- unit2_PDOP: PDOP (position dilution of precision) describes the error caused by the relative position of the GPS satellites
- unit2_HDOP: HDOP represents the horizontal dilution of precision
- unit2_VDOP: VDOP represents the vertical dilution of precision
Warning on NaN values: Some samples (<1%) in the column ‘unit1_pwr_60ghz’ contain NaNs (not-a-value). These NaNs result from random, real-world sensor errors. In the context of received power, NaNs can be considered as zeros. Assuming that pwr_vect is our received power vector, one can explicitly convert the NaNs into zeros by doing pwr_vect(isnan(pwr_vect)) = 0 in Matlab or pwr_vect[np.isnan(pwr_vect)] = 0 in Python.
An example table comprising of the data labels and the additional information is shown below.
