Popis: Several Radio-Frequency technologies have been explored to evaluate the efficacy of localization algorithms in indoor environments, including Received Signal Strength (RSS), Time of Flight (ToF), and Angle of Arrival (AoA). Among these, AoA technique has been gaining interest when adopted with the Bluetooth protocol. In this work, we describe a data collection measurement campaign of AoA and RSS values collected from Bluetooth 5.1 compliant tags and a set of anchor nodes deployed in the environment. We detail the adopted methodology to collect the dataset and we report all the technical details to reproduce the data collection process. The resulting dataset and the adopted software is publicly available to the community. To collect the dataset, we deploy four anchor nodes and four Bluetooth tags and we reproduce some representative scenarios for indoor localization: calibration, static, mobility, and proximity. Each scenario is annotated with an accurate ground truth (GT). We also assess the quality of the collected data. Specifically, we compute the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) between the AoA estimated by the anchors and the corresponding GT. Additionally, we investigate the packet loss metric which measures the percentage of Bluetooth beacons lost by the anchors.
