Pilot drive-test LTE handover dataset for radio measurement analysis in urban Bangladesh

This article presents a pilot Long Term Evolution (LTE) drive-test dataset collected from a real urban cellular network in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The dataset contains field measurements of radio signal conditions, Layer-3 measurement reports, and handover statistics obtained using professional drive-testing tools including XCAL-M software and Samsung Exynos-based user equipment. Measurements were recorded during multiple drive-test sessions along a 13 km urban route, producing timestamped observations of key radio parameters such as Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), Carrier-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (CINR), and serving/neighbor cell identifiers. The dataset is organized into raw and processed directories containing dynamic radio management (DRM) log files, Layer-3 measurement reports, handover event statistics, and tabular datasets to support reproducibility and flexible analysis. The processed dataset demonstrates an example preprocessing workflow including filtering, timestamp alignment, interpolation of missing signal values, and handover labeling with Time-to-Trigger (TTT) context. Due to the limited size of the dataset, it is primarily intended for exploratory analysis, mobility characterization, small-scale machine learning experiments, reinforcement learning environments, and educational research in cellular network engineering. By providing both raw drive-test logs and structured datasets, this resource supports reproducible studies of LTE handover behavior and urban radio environments.
