Spectrogram Data Set for Deep-Learning-Based RF Frame Detection

Abstract

Automated spectrum analysis serves as a troubleshooting tool that helps to diagnose faults in wireless networks such as difficult signal propagation conditions and coexisting wireless networks. It provides a higher monitoring coverage while requiring less expertise compared with manual spectrum analysis. In this paper, we introduce a data set that can be used to train and evaluate deep learning models, capable of detecting frames from different wireless standards as well as interference between single frames. Since manually labeling a high variety of frames in different environments is too challenging, an artificial data generation pipeline was developed. The data set consists of 20,000 augmented signal segments, each containing a random number of different Wi-Fi and Bluetooth frames, their spectral image representations and labels that describe the position and type of frame within the spectrogram. The data set contains results of intermediate processing steps that enable the research or teaching community to create new data sets for specific requirements or to provide new interesting examination examples.
