A Decentralized Fusion Scheme for 5G Multi-BS Positioning
Authors: Sharief Saleh, Qamar Bader, Mohamed Elhabiby, Aboelmagd Noureldin
Abstract
Fifth generation (5G) networks are expected to provide high precision positioning estimation utilizing mmWave signals in urban and downtown areas. In such areas, 5G base stations (BSs) will be densely deployed, allowing for line-of-sight (LOS) communications between the user equipment (UE) and multiple BSs at the same time. Having access to a plethora of measurement sources grants the need for optimal integration between the BSs to have an accurate and precise positioning solution. Traditionally, 5G multi-BS fusion is conducted via an extended Kalman filter (EKF), that directly utilizes range and angle measurements in a centralized integration scheme. Such measurements have a non-linear relationship with the positioning states of the filter, giving rise to linearization errors. Counter to the common belief, an unscented Kalman filter (UKF) will fail to totally eradicate such linearization errors. In this paper, we argue that a de-centralized integration between 5G BSs would fully avoid linearization errors and would enhance the positioning performance significantly. This is done by fusing position measurements as opposed to directly fusing range and angle measurements, which inherently leads to a linear measurement model by design. The proposed de-centralized KF method was evaluated in a quasi-real simulation setup provided by Siradel using a real trajectory in Downtown Toronto. The experiments compared the performance of de-centralized KF integration to that of centralized EKF and UKF integration schemes. It was shown that the proposed method was able to outperform both UKF and EKF implementations in multiple scenarios as it decreased the RMS and maximum 2D positioning errors significantly, achieving decimeter-level of accuracy for 90.3% of the time.

Exploring the Feasibility of Automated Data Standardization using Large Language Models for Seamless PositioningMax J. L. Lee, Ju Lin, Li-Ta Hsu · 2024 · Signal Processing · AI summary available
Abstract
We propose a feasibility study for real-time automated data standardization leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) to enhance seamless positioning systems in IoT environments. By integrating and standardizing heterogeneous sensor data from smartphones, IoT devices, and dedicated systems such as Ultra-Wideband (UWB), our study ensures data compatibility and improves positioning accuracy using the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF). The core components include the Intelligent Data Standardization Module (IDSM), which employs a fine-tuned LLM to convert varied sensor data into a standardized format, and the Transformation Rule Generation Module (TRGM), which automates the creation of transformation …

Integrated Communication and Positioning Design in RIS-empowered OFDM System: a Correlation Dispersion SchemeXichao Sang, Lin Gui, Kai Ying et al. · 2022 · Signal Processing · AI summary available
Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel integrated communication and positioning design for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system aided by a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) in indoor circumstances. The channel frequency responses on pilots (CFROPs) of places of interest are used for online mapping with the offline CFROP database. We transform the objective of minimizing the similarity of different CFROPs into creating a differentiated database by optimizing the phase coefficients of RIS. Imperfect channel state information is considered due to time-varying caused by the two-stage mapping. We formulate a universal optimization problem for maximizing either the average or the mi…

Precise WiFi Indoor Positioning using Deep Learning AlgorithmsMinxue Cai, Zihuai Lin · 2023 · Signal Processing · Not summarized yet
Abstract
This study demonstrates a WiFi indoor positioning system using Deep Learning algorithms. A new method using fitting function in MATLAB will be utilized to compute the path loss coefficient and log-normal fading variance. To reduce the error, a new hybrid localization approach utilizing Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) and Angle of Arrival (AoA) has been created. Three Deep Learning algorithms would be utilized to decrease the adverse influence of the noise and interference. This paper compares the performance of two models in three different indoor environments. The average error of our hybrid positioning model trained by CNN in the big classroom is less than 250 mm.

Near-field Hybrid Beamforming for Terahertz-band Integrated Sensing and CommunicationsAhmet M. Elbir, Abdulkadir Celik, Ahmed M. Eltawil · 2023 · Signal Processing · Not summarized yet
Abstract
Terahertz (THz) band communications and integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) are two main facets of the sixth generation wireless networks. In order to compensate the severe attenuation, the THz wireless systems employ large arrays, wherein the near-field beam-squint severely degrades the beamforming accuracy. Contrary to prior works that examine only either narrowband ISAC beamforming or far-field models, we introduce an alternating optimization technique for hybrid beamforming design in near-field THz-ISAC scenario. We also propose an efficient approach to compensate near-field beam-squint via baseband beamformers. Via numerical simulations, we show that the proposed approach achie…

PMBM-based SLAM Filters in 5G mmWave Vehicular NetworksHyowon Kim, Karl Granström, Lennart Svensson et al. · 2022 · Signal Processing · AI summary available
Abstract
Radio-based vehicular simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) aims to localize vehicles while mapping the landmarks in the environment. We propose a sequence of three Poisson multi-Bernoulli mixture (PMBM) based SLAM filters, which handle the entire SLAM problem in a theoretically optimal manner. The complexity of the three proposed SLAM filters is progressively reduced while sustaining high accuracy by deriving SLAM density approximation with the marginalization of nuisance parameters (either vehicle state or data association). Firstly, the PMBM SLAM filter serves as the foundation, for which we provide the first complete description based on a Rao-Blackwellized particle filter. Second…

Distributed Complementary Fusion for Connected VehiclesJames Klupacs, Amirali Khodadadian Gostar, Alireza Bab-Hadiashar et al. · 2022 · Signal Processing · AI summary available
Abstract
We present a random finite set-based method for achieving comprehensive situation awareness by each vehicle in a distributed vehicle network. Our solution is designed for labeled multi-Bernoulli filters running in each vehicle. It involves complementary fusion of sensor information locally running through consensus iterations. We introduce a novel label merging algorithm to eliminate double counting. We also extend the label space to incorporate sensor identities. This helps to overcome label inconsistencies. We show that the proposed algorithm is able to outperform the standard LMB filter using a distributed complementary approach with limited fields of view.

Graph Laplacian Diffusion Localization of Connected and Automated VehiclesNikos Piperigkos, Aris S. Lalos, Kostas Berberidis · 2021 · Signal Processing · AI summary available
Abstract
In this paper, we design distributed multi-modal localization approaches for Connected and Automated vehicles. We utilize information diffusion on graphs formed by moving vehicles, based on Adapt-then-Combine strategies combined with the Least-Mean-Squares and the Conjugate Gradient algorithms. We treat the vehicular network as an undirected graph, where vehicles communicate with each other by means of Vehicle-to- Vehicle communication protocols. Connected vehicles perform cooperative fusion of different measurement modalities, including location and range measurements, in order to estimate both their positions and the positions of all other networked vehicles, by interacting only with their…

Adaptive and Fast Combined Waveform-Beamforming Design for mmWave Automotive Joint Communication-RadarPreeti Kumari, Nitin Jonathan Myers, Robert W. Heath Jr · 2020 · Signal Processing · Not summarized yet
Abstract
Millimeter-wave (mmWave) joint communication-radar (JCR) will enable high data rate communication and high-resolution radar sensing for applications such as autonomous driving. Prior JCR systems that are based on the mmWave communications hardware, however, suffer from a limited angular field-of-view and low estimation accuracy for radars due to the employed directional communication beam. In this paper, we propose an adaptive and fast combined waveform-beamforming design for the mmWave automotive JCR with a phased-array architecture that permits a trade-off between communication and radar performances. To rapidly estimate the mmWave automotive radar channel in the Doppler-angle domain with …
