This data is provided as a supplement to NIST Technical Note 2159 Laboratory Method for Recording AWS-3 LTE Waveforms available at https://doi.org/10.6028/NIST.TN.2159. In particular, the data provided here are a compressed version of all the IQ recordings discussed in the report, with diagnostic information. The data is structured as a compressed archive, Data.zip, for each experimental configuration and capture repeat, resulting in 112 compressed archives organized by directory structure. The compressed archive, Data.zip, contains six files: IQ.csv, configuration.csv, diagnostic.csv, UE_diagnostic_spectrogram.csv, IQ_spectrogram.csv and IQ_spectrogram.png.

- IQ.csv Description: Measured IQ at a sampling rate of 61.44 MS / s Contents: I and Q as signed integers, relative units - configuration.csv Description: The experimental configuration under which the IQ recording was made. Corresponds to a row in Table 4.1: Test Configurations of the technote. Contents: Scheduler_Awareness, Scheduler_Allocation, PowerControl_PUSCH, PowerControl_PUCCH,Scheduler_RBMask, P0_PUSCH, P0_PUCCH, alpha, UTG_NumUEs, UTG_ULRate, UTG_TrafficType, UTG_UERSRP, DUT_UE_ULRate, DUT_UE_TrafficType, UT_UE2_ULRate, DUT_UE2_TrafficType

- diagnostic.csv Description: UE Diagnostic information with a time-axis in ms based on system subframes. Contents: Elapsed time (ms), Total Tx Power (dBm), Resource Block Start, Number of Resource Blocks, MCS Index

- UE_diagnostic_spectrogram.csv Description: The UE diagnostic report of power and resource block allocation organized into physical resource blocks with a time-axis in ms based on system subframes. Contents: Elapsed time (ms), 0 ? max physical resource blocks in shared channel with a power in mw.

- IQ_spectrogram.csv Description: IQ data organized into physical resource blocks with a time axis aligned to the diagnostic information. Contents: Elapsed time (ms), 0 ? 199 resource blocks with a relative power. - IQ_spectrogram.png Description: Plot of 140 ms of spectrogram, max relative power versus frequency and mean relative power, corresponds to appendix B of technote. Contents: Single image
