Path Loss Dataset from Field Measurements at 3.5 GHz for the Fifth Generation of Wireless Communications in Indoor...

Wireless communications are today an important mechanism to connect people, machines and things. There are different uses of this technology like security, business, health, education, entertainment, agriculture among many others. In any case, the operational frequency and the scenario where wireless systems are deployed dictate the radio wave propagation conditions and therefore the quality of the communication signals. The path loss refers to the attenuation that wireless signals experiment between pairs of transmitter-receiver and is the basic parameter of performance of wireless communications. In this study, we reported and share different datasets of path loss derived from a campaign of field measurements conducted in three indoor environments. The operational frequency used in this campaign was 3.5 GHz, which is one of the frequency bands of interest for the fifth generation of wireless communications and beyond. The followed strategy to gather data is described in detail, including measurements parameters like equipment, antennas, dimensions and materials of each scenario and the grids used to locate the reception points.
