Low-Complexity 5G Slam with CKF-PHD Filter

Paper i proceeding, 2020

In 5G mmWave, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) allows devices to exploit map information to improve their position estimate. Even the most basic SLAM filter based on a Rao-Blackwellized particle filter (RBPF) combined with a probability hypothesis density (PHD) map representation exhibits high complexity. This paper proposes a new implementation method for the 5G SLAM using message passing (MP) and the cubature Kalman filter (CKF). We demonstrate that the proposed method significantly reduces the complexity while retaining the SLAM accuracy of the RBPF-PHD approach.
