Berlin V2X: A Machine Learning Dataset from Multiple Vehicles and Radio Access Technologies
This provides a new dataset for researchers in vehicular communications, enabling studies on ML-based wireless network optimization, but it is incremental as it primarily offers data rather than novel methods.
The authors tackled the need for diverse machine learning datasets for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications by conducting a measurement campaign in urban environments, resulting in a publicly available dataset with GPS-located wireless measurements across cellular and sidelink technologies, high time resolution, and labels to support ML research.
The evolution of wireless communications into 6G and beyond is expected to rely on new machine learning (ML)-based capabilities. These can enable proactive decisions and actions from wireless-network components to sustain quality-of-service (QoS) and user experience. Moreover, new use cases in the area of vehicular and industrial communications will emerge. Specifically in the area of vehicle communication, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) schemes will benefit strongly from such advances. With this in mind, we have conducted a detailed measurement campaign that paves the way to a plethora of diverse ML-based studies. The resulting datasets offer GPS-located wireless measurements across diverse urban environments for both cellular (with two different operators) and sidelink radio access technologies, thus enabling a variety of different studies towards V2X. The datasets are labeled and sampled with a high time resolution. Furthermore, we make the data publicly available with all the necessary information to support the onboarding of new researchers. We provide an initial analysis of the data showing some of the challenges that ML needs to overcome and the features that ML can leverage, as well as some hints at potential research studies.
