5G Cellular Positioning for Vehicular Safety

Purpose and goal

The project has reached all of its objectives but was able to provide only partial answers to the research questions. In particular, the project has developed novel models, methods (algorithms), user-side hardware, and signals to support 5G mmWave positioning. The project has also studied different architecture alternatives and use cases. For these use cases, requirements have been formulated. Finally, single base station 5G mmWave positioning was demonstrated at the end of the project, with accuracies on the order of 1-2 meters.

Expected results and effects

The results of the project include 1. The demonstration of accurate positioning in an urban environment. 2. The development of hardware and software used for the demonstration 3. The definition of use cases and requirements for 5G mmWave positioning. 4. Unique expertise and knowledge in 5G mmWave positioning. The project results have been shared through internal deliverables, which will be used within the partner organizations, and through scientific publications, which can be utilized by stakeholders worldwide.

Planned approach and implementation

The project has largely followed its plan. Due to the COVID pandemic, there were several delays and one partner left the project, which required us to find an alternative partner. Due to shifts in focus on standards, there were corresponding minor shifts in focus in some of the WPs. Despite these hurdles, the project ran well, aided by weekly technical meetings (online), quarterly project meetings (online), monthly management meetings, and good use of shared folders. Most of the project deliverables have been provided, with only minor delays (1-3 months).
