Abstract 

This data set is from a macroscale molecular communication testbed and provides a set of experimental measurement data.
The molecules used are composed of a diluted alcoholic solution, i.e., ethanol molecules. We mixed four parts of water with one part ethanol, with the mass ratio 1/4. The molecules are released by a mechanism (propulsive release) at the transmitter side, propagate through the free-space channel (assisted by an additional drift), and can be detected at the receiver side with a commercial-off-the-shelf alcohol sensor. Every 0.1 seconds, the current concentration of the ethanol molecules on the receiver side is measured. The information is consequently encoded into temporal sequences (here the temporal concentration of the ethanol molecules). Further information for the testbed setup can also be found in: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9900720

Furthermore, the dataset contains the Matlab processing code.
