BLEBeacon: A Real-Subject Trial Dataset from Mobile Bluetooth Low Energy Beacons
share
The BLEBeacon dataset is a collection of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) advertisement packets/traces generated from BLE beacons carried by people following their daily routine inside a university building. A network of Raspberry Pi 3 (RPi)-based edge devices were deployed inside a multi-floor facility continuously gathering BLE advertisement packets and storing them in a cloud-based environment. The data were collected during an IRB (Institutional Review Board forhe Protection of Human Subjects in Research) approved one-month trial. Each facility occupant/participant was handed a BLE beacon to carry with him at all times. The focus is on presenting a real-life realization of a location-aware sensing infrastructure, that can provide insights for smart sensing platforms, crowd-based applications, building management, and user-localization frameworks. This work describes and documents the published BLEBeacon dataset.
