Datasets

We have published several datasets from a variety of projects where SINLAB members were partners.

A Large-Scale Dataset of 4G, NB-IoT, and 5G Non-Standalone Network Measurements

Mobile networks have become highly complex systems. In order to better understand how network features affect performance and suggest additional improvements, it is crucial to examine them from an empirical perspective. In the following, we present a large-scale dataset of measurements collected over fourth generation (4G) and fifth generation (5G) operational networks, providing Long Term Evolution (LTE), Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) and 5G New Radio (NR) connectivity. We collected our dataset during a period of seven weeks in Rome, Italy, by performing several tests on the infrastructures of two major mobile network operators (MNOs). The open-sourced dataset has enabled multi-faceted analyses of network deployment, coverage, and end-user performance, and can be further used for designing and testing artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) solutions for network optimization tasks.

Open Source

We are frequently releasing the results of thesis and projects are open source. Explore your interests below.


  Indoor reconstruction++

Scanning software for a VLP-16 with tilt motion

Indoor reconstruction++ is an incremental development of LiDAR scanning software that is built around the VLP16 rotating LiDAR scanner. It helps to collect extended scans while slowly tilting the LIDAR around its 2nd axis.

  Blensor support for VLP-16

Add the rotating LiDAR VLP16 to the list of LiDAR scanners in Blensor

This repository adds the VLP16 rotating LiDAR from Velodyne (now relabled as Puck) to Blensor. This makes it possible to create virtual point clouds that behave as if a VLP-16 was used to scan a given virtual sceme. The error model that is used for this emulation is more realistic than the default one for rotating LiDARs that is already included in Blensor. The work is documented this master thesis.

SINLAB is a laboratory at the University of Oslo and will offer some of its equipment as a leiested after the conclusion of the Horizon Europe project Imagine-B5G.
