    摘要: Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a manner to enabling high-resolution sensing, localization, imaging, and environment reconstruction capabilities in a wireless communication system. A radio frequency (RF) map of the environment includes coarse location and orientation information for at least one reflector and at least one targeted device of the wireless communication system. A fine sensing procedure may involve using the information in the RF map to carry out sensing in a more limited region of the environment. The second stage may employ a sensing signal configuration provided to at least one device to be sensed in the limited region, so that the at least one device may assist in the sensing.

    摘要: A method of ranging between a first and a second radio signal transceiver comprises calculating a preliminary estimate of a value proportional to a one-way frequency domain channel response, for a frequency of a plurality of frequencies and for each of a first antenna combination and a second antenna combination of a plurality of antenna combinations; calculating a comparison value for the preliminary estimate, for the frequency and for each of the first antenna combination and the second antenna combination; determining, for the frequency and the first antenna combination, a corrected estimate of the value proportional to the one-way frequency domain channel response based on the preliminary estimate and the comparison value, for the first antenna combination and the second antenna combination; and performing a ranging calculation between the first and the second radio signal transceiver based on a plurality of such corrected estimates.

    摘要: Time and effort to generate an electric field map to realize high-accuracy positioning is reduced. In an electric field map generation device (10) that generates an electric field map in which RSSI obtained when radio waves transmitted from a beacon (60) are observed at each of a plurality of points in the same space is associated with each of coordinates at the plurality of points, a radio wave strength acquisition unit (12) acquires RSSI observed at each of at least three observation points different in distance from the beacon (60), a space propagation characteristics estimation unit (14) estimates space propagation characteristics of the radio waves transmitted from the beacon (60) in the same space using the acquired RSSI at the observation points, a radio wave strength estimation unit (16) estimates RSSI at estimation points on the basis of the estimated space propagation characteristics and distances between the estimation points different from the observation points and the beacon (60), and a generation unit (18) generates the electric field map (26) using the RSSI at the observation points and the estimation points.

    摘要: In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) transmits an uplink reference signal for positioning (RS-P) to one or more transmission reception points (TRPs). The TRP(s) or an location management function (LMF) extracts features from one or more uplink radio frequency fingerprint (RFFPs) of the uplink RS-P by one or more network components via one or more network-based machine learning (ML) feature extraction models, and sends the extracted features to the UE for position estimation. Other aspects are directed to UE-based round-trip RFFP position estimation session of a UE. Other aspects are directed to network-based round-trip RFFP position estimation of a UE. The UE-based round-trip RFFP position estimation and the network-based round-trip RFFP position estimation may be based on an uplink RFFP (e.g., SRS) of an uplink reference signal for positioning (RS-P) and a downlink RFFP of a downlink RS-P (e.g., DL PRS)
