Purpose and goal
The main goal of the Beyond 5G positioning project is to develop solutions to high-accuracy positioning and radar-like-sensing for vehicular safety applications, based on 5G and beyond 5G radio technologies.
Expected effects and result
The expected results are (i) creating safer, more efficient, and socially equitable vehicle use, supported by already accepted 5G technologies; (ii) cross-industry collaborations, knowledge generation, products, and applications; (iii) reducing energy consumption inside and outside of the vehicle, by improving traffic flow without the need for dedicated RF spectrum.
Planned approach and implementation
The project is structured in 5 interrelated work packages (WPs). WP1 deals with the fundamental limits for radio-based positioning. WP2 deals with developing, analyzing, and evaluating suitable methods (including architectures) and signals (and control protocols) to support different positioning and sensing applications. WP3 deals with the development, analysis, and integration of user equipment (UE) hardware, i.e., the hardware mounted on the vehicle. WP4 covers the demonstration activities.
