In this context, detection and localization of UAVs will be critical for maintaining safe and secure airspace in the future. In this work, Keysight N6854A radio frequency (RF) sensors are used to detect and locate a UAV by passively monitoring the signals emitted from the UAV. First, the Keysight sensor detects the UAV by comparing the received RF signature with various other UAVs' RF signatures in the Keysight database using an envelope detection algorithm. Afterward, time difference of arrival (TDoA) based localization is performed by a central controller using the sensor data, and the drone is localized with some error. To mitigate the localization error, implementing an extended Kalman filter (EKF) is proposed in this study. The performance of the proposed approach is evaluated on a realistic experimental dataset. EKF requires basic assumptions on the type of motion throughout the trajectory, i.e., the movement of the object is assumed to fit some motion model (MM) such as constant velocity (CV), constant acceleration (CA), and constant turn (CT). In the experiments, an arbitrary trajectory is followed, therefore it is not feasible to fit the whole trajectory into a single MM. Consequently, the trajectory is segmented into sub-parts and a different MM is assumed in each segment while building the EKF model. Simulation results demonstrate an improvement in error statistics when EKF is used if the MM assumption aligns with the real motion.","PeriodicalId":347962,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 15th ACM Workshop on Wireless Network Testbeds, Experimental evaluation & CHaracterization","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117185152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the same time, traditional 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) deployments are being enhanced with the addition of bands in the unlicensed 5 GHz (using License Assisted Access, or LAA) and the 3.5 GHz Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) resulting in throughput performance comparable to 5G in mid-band. We present a detailed study comparing 4G and 5G deployments, in all bands in Chicago, and focused mmWave measurements and analysis in Miami. Our methodology, based on commercial and custom apps, is scalable for crowdsourcing measurements on a large scale and provides detailed data (throughput, latency, signal strength, etc.) on actual deployments. Our main conclusions based on the measurements are (i) optimized 4G networks in mid-band are comparable in both throughput and latency to current deployments of 5G (both standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA)) and (ii) mmWave 5G, even in NSA mode, can deliver multi-Gbps throughput reliably if the installation is dense enough, but performance is still brittle due to the propagation limitations imposed by distance and body-loss. Thus, while 5G demonstrates significant early promise, further work needs to be done to ensure that the stated goals of 5G are met.","PeriodicalId":347962,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 15th ACM Workshop on Wireless Network Testbeds, Experimental evaluation & CHaracterization","volume":"96 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120943238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
