Location awareness is vital in next generation (xG) wireless networks to enable different use cases, including location-based services (LBSs) and efficient network management. However, achieving the service level requirements specified by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) is challenging. This calls for new localization algorithms as well as for 3GPP-standardized scenarios to support their systematic development and testing. In this context, the availability of public datasets with 3GPP-compliant configurations is essential to advance the evolution of xG networks. This paper introduces xG-Loc, the first open dataset for localization algorithms and services fully compliant with 3GPP technical reports and specifications. xG-Loc includes received localization signals, measurements, and analytics for different network and signal configurations in indoor and outdoor scenarios with center frequencies from micro-waves in frequency range 1 (FR1) to millimeter-waves in frequency range 2 (FR2). Position estimates obtained via soft information-based localization and wireless channel quality indicators via blockage intelligence are also provided. The rich set of data provided by xG-Loc enables the characterization of localization algorithms and services under common 3GPP-standardized scenarios in xG networks.
