CISR24 Dataset Specification

1. Scope

CISR24 is a native 24-class complex-baseband IQ benchmark for unified recognition of:

  • communication waveforms
  • radar sensing waveforms
  • ISAC waveforms

The public release ID is CISR24. It is not a filtered view of a larger label space. All manifests, HDF5 files, class IDs, and label names are generated directly in the 24-class label space defined by the paper.

2. Final Taxonomy

  • OFDM-QPSK
  • OFDM-16QAM

2.2 Radar sensing classes: 6

  • Rect
  • Barker
  • LFM
  • Costas
  • Frank
  • P4

2.3 ISAC classes: 8

  • OFDM-LFM-BPSK
  • OFDM-LFM-QPSK

3. Global Record Definition

  • sampling rate: fs = 10 MHz
  • record length: L = 1024
  • record duration: 102.4 us
  • representation: complex baseband IQ
  • numeric type: float32

4. Clean Release Rules

These rules apply to every class.

4.1 Baseband only

All classes are generated and stored in complex baseband.

  • no class-specific fixed carriers
  • no superclass-specific center-frequency assignments

4.2 Power normalization and SNR definition

For every example:

  1. generate the active waveform burst
  2. apply random initial phase
  3. normalize the active burst to unit average power
  4. embed the burst into the 1024-sample record with random start offset
  5. add complex AWGN using the active-burst power as the SNR reference

The release audit verifies this convention independently from the nominal SNR labels. It gates every class/SNR cell using the inactive interval's pure-noise power, then pools records at each split/SNR level to check unit-power active burst normalization with an active-minus-inactive estimate.

Interpretation:

  • snr_db in the manifest refers to active-burst SNR
  • effective_snr_basis = active_burst

4.3 Clean-version randomization only

Allowed:

  • random symbol realization or code realization
  • random pulse or burst start offset
  • random initial phase
  • AWGN at target snr_db
  • waveform-internal parameter draws from small discrete sets

Not included in this clean release:

  • CFO
  • IQ imbalance
  • multipath fading
  • delayed radar echoes
  • clipping
  • quantization stress

These remain evaluation-time or future robust-variant factors.

5. Split Policy

Balanced IID benchmark:

  • train: 1000 examples per class per SNR
  • val: 200 examples per class per SNR
  • test: 200 examples per class per SNR

SNR grid:

  • -20, -18, ..., 20 dB
  • total SNR levels: 21

Independent generation:

  • train/val/test are generated independently
  • different splits use different seeds
  • no split is obtained by slicing the same mother waveform bank

6. Activity-Length Control

To reduce activity-length leakage, the rebuild intentionally increases overlap between waveform families.

6.1 Support policy

  • communication single-carrier bursts use active support from {576, 640, 704, 768, 832}
  • radar pulse-like classes also concentrate in the same broad support range
  • OFDM uses native packet lengths from 2 or 3 OFDM symbols
  • OFDM-LFM shares the same native packet lengths, avoids standalone preamble concatenation, and uses a hybrid partial chirp-subcarrier design on data carriers

6.2 Release criterion

The release must be accompanied by a shortcut audit. At minimum:

  • active_len
  • bw95
  • spectral centroid
  • spectral spread
  • crest factor
  • envelope sparsity
  • peak count in the periodogram

7. Waveform-Specific Design

7.1 Communication: single-carrier classes

4FSK / 8FSK

Implementation:

  • canonical CPFSK construction with continuous phase
  • sps = 8 and Rs = 1.25 Msps
  • modulation index h = 0.5

Subcarrier layout:

  • occupied subcarriers are symmetric around DC
  • DC is always null

Time-domain lengths:

  • 2 symbols -> 576
  • 3 symbols -> 864

7.3 Radar sensing classes

All radar examples are treated as single-pulse intrapulse snapshots.

Costas

  • Nc in {7, 11, 13}
  • frequency step Df in {0.25, 0.5} MHz

  • chosen permutation ID is written as costas_perm_id

Frank

P4

  • code length N in {16, 32}
