A novel multipath mitigation method for 5G positioning

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Mobile terminal positioning has recently been recognized as an indispensable functionality for the upcoming Fifth Generation (5G) wireless networks. However, in harsh environments like urban and indoors, multipath caused by signal reflection or diffraction still severely affects the performance of 5G positioning. Aiming to reduce the positioning errors caused by multipath, we propose a novel multipath mitigation method called Two-Stage Multipath Estimating Delay Lock Loop (TS-MEDLL) by appropriately modifying the structure of conventional MEDLL. The experimental results demonstrate that in 5G positioning, the proposed TS-MEDLL outperforms the existing methods and has a 60% improvement in the medium delay multipath mitigation performance compared with the conventional MEDLL.
