# LoRa Signal Loss in Rural Areas Dataset This repository contains datasets consisting of empirical signal loss data in rural areas, like agricultural fields and forests. Purpose is to allow for building more robust LoRa(WAN) signal propagation models. ## Experimental Setup Two different hardware setups, with different antenna characteristics. ### Setup A: Adeunis Field Test Device + Dragino Outdoor Gateway - Node: Adeunis Field Test Device - Gateway: Dragino DSLO8 - Server (Software): Chirpstack v3 - Spreading Factor: 12 #### Evaluation Parameter - on successfull transmission: - RSSI - SNR - Location (GPS: latitude, longitude) ### Setup H: Heltec Wireless Sticks - Node (tx/rx): Heltec Wireless Sticks - Software: BluRa App (on Android Smartphones) - Spreading Factor: 12 #### Evaluation Parameter - on succesfull transmission: - Location (GPS: latitude, longitude) ## Data This data contains three files, next to this README.md. ### additional material.zip Files with additional material, that is not required for further analysis, but might help to understand the test conditions by photos, or support evaluating generated data, by scripts. This container has two sub-folders: * `photos`, with photos of the tests. * `scripts`, with python scripts to convert data from database export files to rather human-readable .csv files. ### setup A.zip Files of setup A tests. This container has three sub-folders: * `diagrams`, with diagrams (RSSI/SNR values in relation to distance) of each test and also `comparision` diagrams * `preprocessed data`, with preprocessed .csv files containing successfull transmissions, i.e., transmissions received and acknowledged by the gateway * `raw data`, with raw data exports as .csv files from Postgres database that was used by Chirpstack ### setup H.zip Files of setup H tests. This container has two sub-folders: * `preprocessed data`, with preprocessed .csv files containing sent messages ($TEST_map.csv) and received messages ($TEST_received_map.csv) * `raw data`, with raw data exports of data from BluRa sapp as .db files and converted .json files
