Abstract

A library of three public and realistic scenarios for UMTS radio networks was compiled within the EU-funded project MOMENTUM. We illustrate the contents of these scenarios and demonstrate the importance for detailed data by some cross-checks with common simpler models from the literature. The scenarios are valuable to research for several reasons. Being public, the datasets can be used freely in the scientific community. In similar situations, the availability of public benchmark data has stimulated research over years and has significantly contributed to the reproducibility and comparability of computational results. Being realistic, the scenarios are far more detailed than those typically used for publications; they help scientists to better establish or to improve on the practical relevance of their results.
