Dataset

In the experiment, ten sniffers capture packets from a given single source node at multiple distances (1m, 10m, 20m, 30m, 40m, and 50m). Each folder contains the dataset for a specific distance. In each folder, you will find three files:

The raw data in pcap format. The raw data in csv format. Synchronized data in csv format after using the PyPal tool (https://hal.science/hal-03618014).

In the file name, Sx indicates the number of the sniffer (S01 to S10).

Each file contains eight columns:

| Frame_number | Frame_time_epoch | RSSI_dBm | Channel | Frame_type | Frame_subtype | Retransmission | Source_MAC_address | Sequence_number |`

Note that :

Frame_number: number of the received frame in the trace captured by the sniffer.
Sequence_number: sequence number of the frame sent by our transmitter (Note that missing sequence numbers refers to frames that haven't been captured by the sniffer).

The Source_MAC_address is identical in each trace as it refers to the MAC address of our transmitter.

Devices

The devices in the experiment were composed of a Raspberry Pi 4 node and an external Alfa antenna (AlfaAWUS051NH), both for the source node and the sniffers.
