EGO-6: Enhancing Geofencing Security Systems with Optimal Deployment of 6G TRPs

Geofencing technologies enable the creation of virtual boundaries around specific locations to regulate actions within that area. These boundaries provide a flexible, yet secure way to control access, monitor activity, and enforce rules. A prime example is the use of geofencing to establish no-fly zones for drones, ensuring aviation safety. Geofencing can also be used in virtual environments, such as metaverse platforms, to restrict user access to specific rooms, enhancing security and management. In this article, we present EGO-6, an optimization framework for a geofencing system tracking users in indoor environments. EGO6 optimizes 6G transmission/reception point (TRP) deployment in three-dimensional spaces with its innovative technique. Using Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) advancements, EGO-6 calculates minimum 6G anchor requirements and their optimal placement to lower deployment costs and tracking errors. Solving this complex NP-Hard challenge which belongs to Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) problems, EGO-6 offers cost-efficient anchor configurations for improved indoor geofencing and user tracking with fewer deployed 6G TRPs.
