Objective<\/em> Background<\/em> With regard to high-accuracy localization, it will play a critical role in almost all use cases of the B5G networks. Specifically, depending on the usage scenarios, the requirement for localization accuracy ranges from 1 cm to 10 cm for smart factory applications. However, most current localization services can, at best, achieve meter-level localization accuracy and, therefore, cannot meet the centimetre-level localization accuracy requirements of the emerging use cases in the B5G era, which emphasizes the need for more advanced localization techniques.<\/p>\n About the Digital Futures Postdoc Fellow<\/em> Main supervisor Co-supervisors<\/em> Lihui Wang<\/strong>,\u00a0Professor and Chair of Sustainable Manufacturing, KTH<\/p>\n Watch the recorded presentation at Digitalize in Stockholm 2022 event:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nIt indeed consists of two sub-projects. Firstly, as the most promising technology in achieving 10 Gbs peak data rates, millimetre-wave (mmWave) communications have received remarkable attention from academia and industry. Thus, in the project of intelligent wireless communications, we aim to develop several machine learning-based beam tracking algorithms for mobile mmWave communications, which can work efficiently without relying on a priori knowledge of channel dynamics. While in the project of high-accuracy positioning systems, we aim to leverage mmWave signals and other techniques, such as intelligent reflecting surfaces, to achieve centimetre-level localization accuracy.<\/p>\n
\nDriven by the ever-increasing mobile data traffic, 5G-and-beyond (B5G) networks are envisioned as a key enabler to support a variety of novel use cases, such as autonomous cars, industrial automation, multisensory extended reality (XR), e-health, etc. Considering the emergence of these use cases and the more and more complicated network structure, artificial intelligence is expected to be essential to assist in making the B5G version conceivable.<\/p>\n
