Future cellular networks that utilize millimeter wave signals provide new opportunities in positioning and situational awareness. Large bandwidths combined with large antenna arrays provide unparalleled delay and angle resolution, allowing high accuracy localization but also building up a map of the environment. Even the most basic filter intended for simultaneous localization and mapping exhibits high computational overhead since the methods rely on sigma point or particle-based approximations. In this paper, a first order Taylor series based Gaussian approximation of the filtering distribution is used and it is demonstrated that the developed extended Kalman probability hypothesis density filter is computationally very efficient. In addition, the results imply that efficiency does not come with the expense of estimation accuracy since the method nearly achieves the position error bound.

Millimeter wave (mmWave) signals are useful for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), due to their inherent geometric connection to the propagation environment and the propagation channel. To solve the SLAM problem, existing approaches rely on sigma-point or particle-based approximations, leading to high computational complexity, precluding real-time execution. We propose a novel low-complexity SLAM filter, based on the Poisson multi-Bernoulli mixture (PMBM) filter. It utilizes the extended Kalman (EK) first-order Taylor series based Gaussian approximation of the filtering distribution, and applies the track-oriented marginal multi-Bernoulli/Poisson (TOMB/P) algorithm to approximate the resulting PMBM as a Poisson multi-Bernoulli (PMB). The filter can account for different landmark types in radio SLAM and multiple data association hypotheses. Hence, it has an adjustable complexity/performance trade-off. Simulation results show that the developed SLAM filter can greatly reduce the computational cost, while it keeps the good performance of mapping and user state estimation.
Indoor wireless simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is considered as a promising technique to provide positioning services in future 6G systems. However, the accuracy of traditional wireless SLAM system heavily relies on the quality of propagation paths, which is limited by the uncontrollable wireless environment. In this paper, we propose a novel SLAM system assisted by a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) to address this issue. By configuring the phase shifts of the RIS, the strength of received signals can be enhanced to resist the disturbance of noise. However, the selection of phase shifts heavily influences the localization and mapping phase, which makes the design very challenging. To tackle this challenge, we formulate the RIS-assisted indoor SLAM optimization problem and design an error minimization algorithm for it. Simulations show that the RIS assisted SLAM system can decrease the positioning error by at least 31% compared with benchmark schemes.
In this work, we propose a novel approach for high accuracy user localization by merging tools from both millimeter wave (mmWave) imaging and communications. The key idea of the proposed solution is to leverage mmWave imaging to construct a high-resolution 3D image of the line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) objects in the environment at one antenna array. Then, uplink pilot signaling with the user is used to estimate the angle-of-arrival and time-of-arrival of the dominant channel paths. By projecting the AoA and ToA information on the 3D mmWave images of the environment, the proposed solution can locate the user with a sub-centimeter accuracy. This approach has several gains. First, it allows accurate simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) from a single standpoint, i.e., using only one antenna array. Second, it does not require any prior knowledge of the surrounding environment. Third, it can locate NLOS users, even if their signals experience more than one reflection and without requiring an antenna array at the user. The approach is evaluated using a hardware setup and its ability to provide sub-centimeter localization accuracy is shown.
Due to 5G millimeter wave (mmWave), spatial channel parameters are becoming highly resolvable, enabling accurate vehicle localization and mapping. We propose a novel method of radio simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) with the Dirichlet process (DP). The DP, which can estimate the number of clusters as well as clustering, is capable of identifying the locations of reflectors by classifying signals when such 5G signals are reflected and received from various objects. We generate birth points using the measurements from 5G mmWave signals received by the vehicle and classify objects by clustering birth points generated over time. Each time we use the DP clustering method, we can map landmarks in the environment in challenging situations where false alarms exist in the measurements and change the cardinality of received signals. Simulation results demonstrate the performance of the proposed scheme. By comparing the results with the SLAM based on the Rao-Blackwellized probability hypothesis density filter, we confirm a slight drop in SLAM performance, but as a result, we validate that it has a significant gain in computational complexity.
The world is moving towards faster data transformation with more efficient localization of a user being the preliminary requirement. This work investigates the use of a deep learning technique for wireless localization, considering both millimeter-wave (mmWave) and sub-6 GHz frequencies. The capability of learning a new neural network model makes the localization process easier and faster. In this study, a Deep Neural Network (DNN) was used to localize User Equipment (UE) in two static scenarios. We propose two different methods to train a neural network, one using channel parameters (features) and another using a channel response vector and compare their performances using preliminary computer simulations. We observe that the former approach produces high localization accuracy considering that all of the users have a fixed number of multipath components (MPCs), this method is reliant on the number of MPCs. On the other hand, the latter approach is independent of the MPCs, but it performs relatively poorly compared to the first approach.
