UJI Probes: Dataset of Wi-Fi Probe Requests
TL
TL;DR
This paper provides a month-long probe request capture in an office environment, including work days, weekends, and holidays consisting of over 1 400 000 probe requests, and provides a description of all the important aspects of the dataset.
Abstract
This paper focuses on the creation of a new, publicly available Wi-Fi probe request dataset. Probe requests belong to the family of management frames used by the 802.11 (Wi-Fi) protocol. As the situation changes year by year, and technology improves probe request studies are necessary to be done on upto-date data. We provide a month-long probe request capture in an office environment, including work days, weekends, and holidays consisting of over 1 400 000 probe requests. We provide a description of all the important aspects of the dataset. Apart from the raw packet capture we also provide a Radio Map (RM) of the office to ensure the users of the dataset have all the possible information about the environment. To protect privacy, user information in the dataset is anonymized. This anonymization is done in a way that protects the privacy of users while preserving the ability to analyze the dataset to almost the same level as raw data. Furthermore, we showcase several possible use cases for the dataset, like presence detection, temporal Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) stability, and privacy protection evaluation.
