pretty_name: Wireless Taxonomy Dataset
📶 Wireless Taxonomy Dataset
The Wireless Taxonomy Dataset is a structured corpus of wireless communication research metadata, created to support the development of a standardized benchmark for the wireless research community.
It captures the relationships between datasets, papers, and citations, emphasizing data provenance, collection environments, and modality-level detail across the OSI stack.
This taxonomy was curated as part an effort to systematically identify and classify datasets collected from real-world, lab-based, or high-fidelity wireless environments.
🧭 Overview
The dataset provides a unified reference for wireless research data sources, including:
- Publications from ACM SIGCOMM, IMC, and CoNEXT (2022–2025)
- Descriptions of datasets used or generated in these papers
- Mappings between datasets, publications, and BibTeX references
The curation emphasizes datasets that involve physical or trace-driven wireless environments, such as operational LTE/5G systems, SDR testbeds, or validated wireless emulations.
🗂️ Dataset Structure
This repository consists of three interlinked CSV tables, each available as a configuration:
| Config | File | Description |
|---|---|---|
datasets |
Wireless_Datasets.csv |
Metadata describing qualifying wireless datasets, including dataset names, OSI layer coverage, modalities, and collection environments. |
papers |
Wireless_Papers.csv |
A structured index of research papers analyzed, including authors, venues, years, dataset usage, and taxonomy keys. |
bibtex |
Bibtex.csv |
Canonical citation metadata linking publications to datasets via shared BibTeX keys. |
🔗 Linking and Relational Schema
Each table contains a shared relational variable: bibtex_citation_key.
This key enables relational joins across the three tables.
- A single dataset may link to multiple papers (e.g., reused benchmarks).
- Papers may list multiple datasets.
- Merging on
bibtex_citation_keyreconstructs the complete dataset–paper–citation graph.
🧪 Methodology
The taxonomy was constructed through a combination of structured corpus analysis and manual validation.
Publications from major networking and wireless conferences between 2022 and 2025 were reviewed to identify papers containing datasets from qualifying wireless environments — namely, real-world deployments, physical testbeds, or high-fidelity simulations/emulations.
📑 Schema Description
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
dataset_name |
Name or descriptive identifier of the dataset. |
bibtex_citation_key |
Shared key linking datasets to papers and citations. |
osi_layers |
OSI layers represented in the dataset (e.g., L1, L4). |
modalities |
Collected data types (e.g., RF traces, latency, throughput). |
availability |
Indicates whether the dataset is open, closed, or n/a. |
collection_environment |
Describes how the dataset was collected: Real-world deployment, Physical Testbed, or High-Fidelity Simulation. |
⚙️ Example Usage
from datasets import load_dataset
# Load the dataset taxonomy
datasets_table = load_dataset("your-hf-username/wireless_taxonomy", name="datasets", split="train")
# Explore papers and linked citations
papers_table = load_dataset("your-hf-username/wireless_taxonomy", name="papers", split="train")
bib_table = load_dataset("your-hf-username/wireless_taxonomy", name="bibtex", split="train")
# Join tables via the BibTeX citation key
import pandas as pd
df = pd.merge(datasets_table.to_pandas(), papers_table.to_pandas(), on="bibtex_citation_key")
df.head()
