5G Traffic Capture Dataset: User Equipment Classification in the 5G Core

  • 1. ROR icon Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora

Description

A 5G dataset containing network traffic capture files created on a simulated environment and saved in the PCAP format

These datasets were used in the masters dissertation titled "User Equipment Classification in the 5G Core" according to the description in the Table of contents below

Technical info

The network packets of the inference dataset were captured using tcpdump on Ubuntu Linux and saved using the PCAP file format (which is more detailed than CSV)

The virtual environment used free5GC and UERANSIM to simulate the 5G network

Dataset file description

File name Description
training_data.zip Data from other public datasets used to train the ML models
inference_data.zip Data collected and used to run the model inference step

5G traffic type Description
Youtube_cellular.pcap Training eMMB Video reproduction traffic collected from the "5G Traffic Datasets" public dataset
naver5g3-10M.pcap Training URLLC Video live stream traffic collected from the "5G Traffic Datasets" public dataset
training_data_mmtc.zip Training mMTC UDP traffic collected from the "5G Campus Networks: Measurement Traces" public dataset
youtube-1M-1080p.pcap Inference eMMB Captured while virtual UE reproduced the "5G eMBB traffic" Youtube playlist
naver-tv-1M.pcap Inference URLLC Captured while virtual UE reproduced the NaverTV's YTN "Korea 24-hour news channel" live stream
udp-100pps.pcap Inference mMTC Captured while virtual UE used our traffic generator/Netcat to send 100 UDP packets per second
udp-nc-traffic-1k.pcap Inference mMTC Captured while virtual UE used our traffic generator/Netcat to mimic an IoT-like UDP communication pattern (with variable intervals)

Notes

The data was split in two ZIP files (training_data.zip and inference_data.zip). If using them with our source code, they should be extracted to the same folder called "pcap". For more details on the expected folder structure, see the directory structure files in this other Zenodo record

Notes

The training data was obtained from the IEEE Dataport "5G Traffic Datasets" and "5G Campus Networks: Measurement Traces" public datasets. The files' contents were not changed.
