RFSS: A Multi-Standard RF Signal Source Separation Dataset with 3GPP-Standardized Channel and Hardware Impairments

The coexistence of heterogeneous cellular standards (2G-5G) in shared spectrum demands sophisticated RF source separation techniques, yet no public dataset exists for data-driven research on this problem. We present RFSS (RF Signal Source Separation), an open-source dataset of 100,000 multi-source RF signal samples generated with full 3GPP standards compliance. The dataset covers GSM (TS 45.004), UMTS (TS 25.211), LTE (TS 36.211), and 5G NR (TS 38.211), with 2-4 simultaneous sources per sample plus 4,000 single-source reference samples, at 30.72 MHz sample rate. Each sample passes through independent 3GPP TDL multipath fading channels and realistic hardware impairments: carrier frequency offset, I/Q imbalance, phase noise, DC offset, and PA nonlinearity (Rapp model). Two mixing modes are provided: co-channel (all sources at baseband) and adjacent-channel (each source frequency-shifted to its standard-specific carrier). The dataset totals 103 GB in HDF5 format with a 70/15/15 train/validation/test split. We benchmark five methods: FastICA, Frobenius-norm NMF, Conv-TasNet, DPRNN, and a CNN-LSTM baseline, evaluated using permutation-invariant SI-SINR (PI-SI-SINR). Conv-TasNet achieves -21.18 dB PI-SI-SINR on 2-source mixtures versus -34.91 dB for ICA, a 13.7 dB improvement. On co-channel mixtures, Conv-TasNet reaches -12.34 dB versus -28.04 dB for ICA and -16.19 dB for NMF. The dataset and evaluation code are publicly released at submission time.
