Argos Channel Survey

Dataset Project

In this project, we conducted a comprehensive many-antenna MU-MIMO channel measurement campaign. The measurement system supports full mobility with very high time-frequency resolution. We provide channel traces in the UHF, 2.4 GHz, and 5 GHz bands, in diverse environments, with up to 104 base-station antennas serving 8 users.

Datasets Description

The data for this project was collected in both indoor and outdoor enviroments, as shown in the pictures and maps below. Additionally, mobility datasets were also collected using a CineMoco track. For more details, please refer to this article.

These datasets were collected by Clayton Shepard, Jian Ding and Ryan E. Guerra at the Rice University campus. For any questions about this dataset, please contact the paper authors or the RENEW team.
