The integration of 5G networks within industrial environments offers high connectivity, yet challenges remain in obtaining the fine-grained positioning required for localization applications. This article presents the development and simulation-based evaluation of the sensor-guided non-line-of-sight (NLoS) corrective localization (SGNCL) algorithm within the 5G New Radio network framework. The proposed algorithm utilizes data integration techniques to effectively mitigate NLoS errors, which are prevalent in complex indoor environments with high delay spreads. We describe the algorithm's design, operational principles, and the comprehensive simulation setup used to assess its performance. In comparison to the minimum variance anchor set, which exhibited a mean error of 2.5 m, the SGNCL algorithm achieved a significant improvement, reducing the mean error to 0.86 m. The results also highlight the algorithm's ability to handle varying delay spreads and sensor densities, ensuring robust localization performance across different scenarios. These findings demonstrate the potential of the SGNCL algorithm to enhance 5G-enabled indoor localization services by addressing NLoS challenges through simulation-based insights.","PeriodicalId":100621,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Indoor and Seamless Positioning and Navigation","volume":"2 ","pages":"333-342"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10804581","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142880441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed paradigm shift takes advantage of photonic oscillators' radical frequency tunability and isochron structure to offer an innovative path for measuring the time of arrival (ToA). To achieve precise ToA measurements, IsoPos utilizes the phase shift induced by the incoming user signal. This shift is detected by analyzing the \u0000<italic>phase response</i>\u0000 of the receiver, i.e., a photonic oscillator, which is exclusively determined by its isochrons' structure. Furthermore, IsoPos uses the injection-locking method as well as the nonlinear properties of injection-locked photonic oscillators to achieve highly accurate phase synchronization between different positioning nodes. This contributes to a seamless 3-D localization devoid of errors caused by miss-synchronization. Our numerical simulations show that IsoPos achieves sub-1 mm accuracy in 3-D localization, surpassing the precision of existing positioning systems by at least one order of magnitude.","PeriodicalId":100621,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Indoor and Seamless Positioning and Navigation","volume":"2 ","pages":"304-319"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10763456","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142825853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the challenge of doubled multipath components under the two-way MCPD approach, especially with a low number of snapshots, further degrades the performance of the commonly utilized multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm. In this article, we investigate a reduced complexity signal-subspace-based approach for wireless ranging using bluetooth low energy (BLE) in high multipath environments. We propose a novel signal subspace decomposition (SSD) algorithm where we utilize the span of individual signal subspace eigenvectors for range estimation. We formulate the integration of the Fourier transform and randomized low rank approximation into the SSD algorithm to reduce the computational complexity for better utilization in embedded devices. We then make use of the output features from the estimated pseudospectrum of the individual eigenvectors, obtained from the enhanced SSD algorithm, as an input to the long–short-term-memory (LSTM) recurrent neural network to obtain a data-driven SSD-LSTM wireless range estimator for the BLE. We evaluate our proposed approach using our real-world BLE data for single- and multiple-antenna scenarios. Our results show an improved performance of our proposed approach by more than 37%, while still enjoying the lowest computational complexity than existing MUSIC and support vector regression approaches for BLE ranging.","PeriodicalId":100621,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Indoor and Seamless Positioning and Navigation","volume":"2 ","pages":"292-303"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10756722","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142777888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Notably, it holds the promise of reducing installation costs. In contrast to time-of-flight (ToF)/time-difference-of-arrival (TDoA) based systems, AoA-based approaches require a reduced number of nodes for effective localization. This characteristic establishes a tradeoff between installation costs and the complexity of hardware and software. Moreover, the appeal of acoustic localization is further heightened by its capacity to provide cost-effective hardware solutions while maintaining a high degree of accuracy. Consequently, acoustic AoA estimation technology stands out as a feasible and compelling option in the field of indoor localization. Sparse arrays additionally have the ability to estimate the direction-of-arrival (DoA) of more sources than available sensors by placing sensors in a specific geometry. In this contribution, we introduce a measurement platform designed to evaluate various sparse array geometries experimentally. The acoustic microphone array comprises 64 microphones arranged in an 8×8 grid, following an uniform rectangular array (URA) configuration, with a grid spacing of 8.255 mm. This configuration achieves a spatial Nyquist frequency of approximately 20.8 kHz in the acoustic domain at room temperature. Notably, the array exhibits a mean spherical error of 1.26\u0000<inline-formula><tex-math>$^{circ }$</tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 when excluding higher elevation angles. The platform allows for masking sensors to simulate sparse array configurations. We assess four array geometries through simulations and experimental data, identifying the open-box and nested array geometries as robust candidates. In addition, we demonstrate the array's capability to concurrently estimate the directions of three emitting sources using experimental data, employing waveforms consisting of orthogonal codes.","PeriodicalId":100621,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Indoor and Seamless Positioning and Navigation","volume":"2 ","pages":"263-274"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10707198","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142600131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, its standard technology has not been established yet. This article describes an indoor 3-D tracking method for drones, using the drone's built-in camera to capture light reflected from the floor. Using a captured image and video data captured during the drone's flight, the proposed method can estimate the drone's position and trajectory. A drone's built-in camera is usually unable to capture light directly from ceiling light sources because of its limited field of view and gimbal angles. To address this problem, the proposed method captures the light indirectly, as the reflections from the floor of ceiling light-emitting diodes (LEDs), in the video stream acquired by its rolling-shutter camera. The 3-D position is estimated by calculating the received signal strength of each individual LED for a single video frame during the flight and fitting this data to a model generated by simulation images. In an indoor environment without external lights, we captured the reflected light from floor surfaces using the drone's camera under gimbal control and analyzed the captured images offline. Experimental results gave an absolute error of 0.34 m at the 90th percentile for 3-D positioning when hovering and using a single-frame image. For a linear flight path, the error was 0.31 m. The computation time for 3-D position estimation was 1.12 s. We also discussed limitations related to real-time and real-world applications, together with approaches to addressing these limitations.","PeriodicalId":100621,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Indoor and Seamless Positioning and Navigation","volume":"2 ","pages":"251-262"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10664003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142246553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some of the challenges of using each specific sensor for indoor localization tasks are highlighted. Each sensor is paired with a current state-of-the-art localization algorithm and evaluated for different aspects: localization accuracy, reliability and sensitivity to environment changes, calibration requirements, and potential system complexity. Specifically, the evaluation covers the Oriented FAST and Rotated BRIEF simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithm for vision-based localization with an RGB-D camera, a machine learning algorithm for radio-based localization with massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology, and the StructureFromSound2 algorithm for audio-based localization with distributed microphones.
