Behind this dataset
Same schema. As many rows as you need.
These 157 rows came out of a blueprint — 15 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.
Rules it was built with
- Cell ID with DSS enabled and frequency band
- Spectrum split configuration: static ratio (e.g., 70% LTE, 30% 5G) or dynamic
- DSS scheduling algorithm: time-domain, frequency-domain multiplexing
- LTE traffic load and 5G traffic load on shared spectrum
- Traffic steering: 5G-capable UEs prioritized for 5G, legacy UEs on LTE
- Performance impact: LTE throughput reduction, 5G coverage/capacity tradeoff
- 5G device penetration and migration rate from LTE to 5G
- DSS vs. dedicated 5G spectrum performance comparison
