Furthermore, the degree of correlations (and the corresponding significance) between the RSS and the local terrain parameters were computed and analyzed for proper interpretations. Statistical analyses and probability distributions of the RSS data are presented in tables and graphs. In addition, local terrain profile data of the study area (terrain elevation, clutter height, altitude, and the distance of the mobile station from the base station) are extracted from Digital Terrain Map (DTM) to account for the unique environmental features. In this data article, RSS data of a commercial base station operating at 9 MHz were measured along three different routes of Lagos-Badagry Highway, Nigeria.


However, these important data are often not publicly available for wireless channel characterization and propagation model development. In view of this, Received Signal Strength (RSS) of transmitted signals are measured at different points in space for radio network planning and optimization. The behaviour of radio wave signals in a wireless channel depends on the local terrain profile of the propagation environments.
