description Abstract Indoor positioning has become a hot topic in various fields, such as industry, healthcare, and commerce. Ultra-wideband (UWB) radio technology provides a cost-effective solution for range-based positioning, offering exceptionally high accuracy and precision. Its ultra-high temporal resolution enables range measurements with accuracy of a few centimeters. To develop and evaluate range-based positioning systems, we collected measurements in four different indoor environments using eight fixed devices and one mobile positioning device. To eliminate the fluctuation of walking speed from the data, we pre-defined a path in each indoor environment, similar to the human walking path, which was sampled at equidistant positions. We collected multiple range measurements and channel impulse response (CIR) data at each tag position on the path. The resulting dataset supports the development of range-based positioning and position tracking algorithms with various combinations of network topologies and anchor-tag combinations. We have also provided a full set of data analysis tools that enable the reproducibility of results and serve as a basis for further development of range-based UWB positioning algorithms.
