Documentation

Welcome to the technical documentation for AeroVerse 6G. This dataset is generated using a high-fidelity digital twin pipeline integrating Unreal Engine 5, Sionna, and CADFEKO.

1. Sensor Configuration

Our data collection platform utilizes a multi-sensor setup designed for low-altitude perception.

SensorSpecificationDescription
LiDAR128 Channels30Hz, 1024 horizontal resolution. Range: ~100m.
Radar77 GHz FMCW2GHz Bandwidth, 100Msps, 128 Chirps/Frame. Supports Doppler.
CameraRGB & Depthsynchronized at 100Hz. Depth maps compressed in .npz.
CSI4.9 GHzGenerated via Sionna RT. Includes full multipath parameters (AoA, AoD, Delay).

2. Coordinate Systems (Critical)

AeroVerse 6G uses aligned coordinate systems between visual and wireless domains. Please note the conversion when using raw data:

  • Visual Domain (UE5): Left-handed, Z-axis up, Unit: cm.
  • Wireless Domain (Sionna): Right-handed, Y-axis up, Unit: m.

Transformation Rule: To convert from UE5 to Sionna, divide coordinates by 100 and swap Y/Z axes.

3. Directory Structure

The dataset is organized by Scenario -> Frequency -> Weather.

4. Simulation Methodology

Wireless Channel Modeling

We utilize NVIDIA Sionna for ray tracing. To ensure physical realism across 1-100 GHz:

  • Materials: Mapped using ITU-R P.2040 standards.
  • Weather: Integrated ITU-R P.838 (Rain) and P.840 (Cloud/Fog) attenuation models.
  • Atmospheric: Implemented ITU-R P.676 to account for oxygen and water vapor absorption peaks (e.g., at 60GHz and 22GHz).

Radar RCS Generation

Unlike simple point-scatterer models, our radar data is generated by:

  1. Exporting the drone mesh from AirSim.
  2. Calculating high-fidelity RCS (Radar Cross Section) using CADFEKO (RL-GO solver).
  3. Combining RCS with Sionna multipath data to synthesize accurate 4D radar signatures.
