Dataset: Wireless Link Quality Estimation on FlockLab - and Beyond

Abstract

In wireless networks, link quality quantifies how "challenging" the environment is for a communication protocol. The performance of protocols are often compared using wireless testbeds and it is therefore important to monitor the testbed's link quality to ensure a fair comparison ground across different protocols. Thus, we are collecting link quality estimation data for FlockLab, an extensively used public testbed. We publish this dataset together with our data collection firmware. This firmware has been designed to facilitate the collection of similar datasets for other wireless networks. The dataset and firmware are publicly available together on Zenodo: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3354718.
