Summary This dataset contains more than 75,000 LoRa frames recorded within and around the EPFL campus in Lausanne, Switzerland. The measurements were collected using four remote radio heads (RRHs) installed on campus rooftops. Each entry provides all information required for synchronization, demodulation, and decoding of a single LoRa frame. Every frame is accompanied by an IQ sample file following the standard SigMF [1] specification, along with its corresponding metadata (annotations). Dataset Details Recordings were captured by four RRHs located at the positions shown in Fig. 1. Each RRH consists of a USRP-2920, a Raspberry Pi 5, and a Quectel L80 GPS receiver. The deployment captures a wide range of propagation scenarios due to differing elevations, line-of-sight conditions, and urban obstructions within the campus environment. The dataset features transmissions from a unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and a pedestrian-carried transmitter, with transmitter velocities between 0 and 5.6 m/s. Measurements are grouped for three representative scenarios: UAV line-of-sight (LoS) UAV non-line-of-sight (NLoS) Pedestrian NLoS The transmitter parameters used during data collection are summarized below: Frequency 862.5 MHz Spreading Factor 7 | 10 Coding Rate 4/5 Bandwidth 125 | 250 kHz Tx Power 14 dBm Payload Length 7 | 19 B Note: Boldface values indicate the parameters used for the UAV-mounted transmitter. In addition to all synchronization parameters required for demodulation, such as carrier frequency offset, reception timestamp, and LoRa PHY parameters, each frame also includes the transmit location, transmit payload, and an SNR estimate.
