Overview
Scenario 5 emulates a Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) mmWave communication setup. The adopted testbed comprises of two units. Unit 1 primarily consists of a stationary base station equipped with an RGB camera and a mmWave phased array. The stationary unit adopts a 16-element 60GHz-band phased array and it receives the transmitted signal using an over-sampled codebook of 64 pre-defined beams. The second unit (Unit 2) is a mobile vehicle unit equipped with a mmWave transmitter and GPS receiver. The transmitter consists of a quasi-omni antenna constantly transmitting (omnidirectional) at the 60 GHz band. Please refer to the detailed description of the testbed presented here.
Tyler St.: This location is further north along McAllister Ave. (location for scenarios 1 and 2) with the Tyler Parking structure in the background (and hence the name). 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. The reason behind selecting this particular location is the different lighting conditions as compared to those of Scenarios 1 and 2. As compared to the white LED street lights present in the previous two locations, this street has sodium vapor lights providing a yellow or orange glow. A portion of the data in this scenario is collected while it was raining, capturing a whole different weather condition as compared to the data collected in any other location. All of these features make this scenario diverse from visual and wireless perspectives alike.

How to Access Scenario 5 Data?
Step 1. Download Scenario 5 Data
Step 2. Extract the scenario5.zip file
Scenario 5 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 the resources section below.
Scenario 5 folder also includes the “scenario5.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:
- visual data annotations: For the visual data, we provide the coordinates of the 2D bounding box and attributes for each frame
- 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
Visual Data Annotations
After performing the post-processing steps presented here, we generate the annotations for the visual data. Using state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms and multiple validation steps, we achieve highly accurate annotations. In this particular scenario, we provide the coordinates of the 2D bounding box and attributes for each frame. We, also, provide the ground-truth labels for 2 object classes, “Tx”, and “Distractor”. The “Tx” refers to the transmitting vehicle in the scene and “Distractor” for any other objects, such as human, other vehicles, etc. We follow the YOLO format for the bounding-box information. In the YOLO format, each bounding box is described by the center coordinates of the box and its width and height. Each number is scaled by the dimensions of the image; therefore, they all range between 0 and 1. Instead of category names, we provide the corresponding integer categories. We follow the following assignment: (i) “Tx” as “0” , and (ii) “Distractor” as “1”.
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. This data is provided in the column 7 [‘unit1_beam_index’] of the scenario5.csv
- 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
- Direction of Travel: For this scenario, during the data collection process, the mobile unit generally moves either from left-to-right or right-to-left of the base station. Here “0” represents the left-to-right movement of the transmitter and “1” represents the “right-to-left” movement. The movement is measured is from the point of view of the base station. This is provided in the ‘unit2_direction’ column of the csv
Additional Information
We, further, provide additional information for each sample present in the scenario dataset. The details are provided in the columns 8 – 16 of the scenario5.csv. 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_sat: For each data sample, it is an integer value representing the number of connected satellites at that time instant.
- unit2_sat_used: At each time instant, these were the satellites that the receiver was connected
- unit2_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_DGPS: Binary indicator representing whether or not there was Differential GPS was used
- 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
