Geolocation on the University of Utah POWDER 5G Testbed

Abstract

This paper demonstrates geolocation on the University of Utah's National Science Foundation Salt Lake 5G Platform for Open Wireless Data-driven Experimental Research testbed. A 5G Cloud Radio Access Network system based on Orthogonal Frequency-division Multiplexing modulation scheme was implemented to transmit data. Timing synchronization and Time Difference of Arrival calculations were performed between four receivers and one transmitter. Possible locations of the transmitting user equipment relative to the receiving base stations are displayed on a map overlay.
