# Dataset Card: Synthetic Mobile Network Performance
**Dataset Description**
This dataset contains synthetically generated mobile signal measurements designed to mirror real-world data in the UK. The data represents geolocated signal quality metrics from mobile devices, capturing a range of environmental and temporal conditions over several months in 2025.
All data has been anonymized, aggregated, and processed to protect user privacy. The synthetic dataset has undergone pre-processing, including coordinate validation and outlier removal.
**Fields**
The dataset contains the following columns:
* **timestamp**: (date) The date and time of the measurement, recorded in UTC.
* **unique_cell**: (string) A unique identifier for the mobile network cell to which the device was connected.
* **measurement_type_name**: (string) The type of measurement recorded. This column appears to be null in the provided sample.
* **in_outdoor_state**: (string) A categorical label indicating the predicted environment of the device, with values such as "Surely Indoor," "Probably Indoor," and "Surely Outdoor."
* **value**: (float) A numerical value associated with the measurement. The specific KPI this represents is not defined.
* **latitude**: (float) The latitude of the device's location at the time of measurement.
* **longitude**: (float) The longitude of the device's location at the time of measurement.
* **signal_level**: (float) The received signal strength, likely measured in dBm.
**Potential Uses**
This dataset is suitable for a variety of analyses, including:
* **Network Coverage Mapping**: Visualizing signal strength across different geographic areas to identify zones with strong or weak coverage.
* **Performance Analysis**: Correlating signal quality with factors like location (indoor/outdoor), time of day, and cell tower.
* **Mobility Pattern Simulation**: Understanding how user movement impacts network performance.
* **Machine Learning Model Training**: Developing models to predict signal quality based on location and environmental factors.
