BLEBeacon

The BLEBeacon dataset is a collection of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) advertisement packets/traces generated from BLE beacons carried by people following their daily routine inside a university building for a whole month. A network of Raspberry Pi 3 (RPi)-based edge devices were deployed inside a multi-floor facility continuously gathering BLE advertisement packets and storing them in a cloud-based environment. The focus is on presenting a real-life realization of a location-aware sensing infrastructure, that can provide insights for smart sensing platforms, crowd-based applications, building management, and user-localization frameworks.
