5G mmWave Vehicular Tracking

Paper in proceedings, 2019

Vehicle positioning based on GPS is limited due to multipath and blockage. 5G mmWave signals can provide an attractive complement, as it is possible to estimate the state of a vehicle (position and heading) from transmissions from a single base station. We propose a Bayesian 5G mmWave tracking filter, which explicitly relies on mapping the radio environment. The filter thus solves a novel type of simultaneous localization and mapping problem, which enables estimating not only the vehicle heading and position, but also its clock bias.
