The Vienna 4G/5G Drive-Test Dataset

The Vienna 4G/5G Drive-Test Dataset is a city‑scale open dataset of georeferenced LTE and 5G NR measurements collected across Vienna, Austria. It combines passive wideband scanner observations with active handset logs, offering complementary network‑side and user‑side views of deployed radio access networks. The dataset includes inferred base‑station deployment descriptors, high‑resolution building and terrain models, and is organized into scanner, handset, estimated cell information, and city‑model components to support reproducible benchmarking in environment‑aware learning, propagation modeling, coverage analysis, and ray‑tracing calibration workflows.

RIS-Aided mmWave Localization Under Cross-Link Interference via Beam-Domain ML Fingerprinting

arXiv:2608. 07444v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate user equipment (UE) localization is critical for beam management in reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted millimeter-wave (mmWave) based sixth-generation (6G) networks, especially if the direct base-station-UE links are unavailable.

Physics-Unrolled Neural Operator for Wireless Field Modeling

The paper introduces Physics-Unrolled Hybrid Neural Operator (PU‑HNO), a three‑stage cascade that transforms low‑fidelity ray‑tracing outputs and scene priors into high‑fidelity indoor radio maps by sequentially modeling reflection, diffraction, and scattering. It demonstrates that, under conditionally unbiased label noise, the model can learn stable propagation structures and surpass its own training labels. Experiments on varied floorplans show PU‑HNO outperforming image‑to‑image baselines, wireless learning models, and monolithic neural operators in both image quality and wireless deployment metrics.

Fusion of Pervasive RF Data with Spatial Images via Vision Transformers for Enhanced Mapping in Smart Cities

arXiv:2508. 03736v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this paper, we present a deep learning-based approach that integrates the DINOv2 architecture to improve building mapping by combining (possibly erroneous) maps from open-source platforms with pervasive radio frequency (RF) data collected from multiple wireless user equipments and base stations.
