Abstract

Positioning is a crucial element of the new connected world and its integration with the current and future releases of the mobile system technology has been gaining interest since the introduction of the 5G verticals. In the application layer, positioning provides an additional and, in many cases, a fundamental value for the implementation of services like terrestrial and non-terrestrial vehicles, industrial robots and many other advanced systems. In this work we present a study on the formulation of the 3D Position Error Bound (PEB) based on Time-of-Arrival measures. We extend the analysis of the localization Cramer Rao Bound to the 3D geometry including the impacts of multipath, multiple anchors, clock and position offsets. In addition, we elaborate the result, providing a deeper insight on potential applications of this analytical tool, as positioning of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in areas covered by 5G signals.

期刊介绍： Vehicular communications is a growing area of communications between vehicles and including roadside communication infrastructure. Advances in wireless communications are making possible sharing of information through real time communications between vehicles and infrastructure. This has led to applications to increase safety of vehicles and communication between passengers and the Internet. Standardization efforts on vehicular communication are also underway to make vehicular transportation safer, greener and easier. The aim of the journal is to publish high quality peer–reviewed papers in the area of vehicular communications. The scope encompasses all types of communications involving vehicles, including vehicle–to–vehicle and vehicle–to–infrastructure. The scope includes (but not limited to) the following topics related to vehicular communications: Vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to infrastructure communications Channel modelling, modulating and coding Congestion Control and scalability issues Protocol design, testing and verification Routing in vehicular networks Security issues and countermeasures Deployment and field testing Reducing energy consumption and enhancing safety of vehicles Wireless in–car networks Data collection and dissemination methods Mobility and handover issues Safety and driver assistance applications UAV Underwater communications Autonomous cooperative driving Social networks Internet of vehicles Standardization of protocols.
