Description

Three-dimensional positioning method and device under deep learning assisted large-scale antenna array
Technical Field
The invention relates to a three-dimensional positioning method under a large-scale antenna array assisted by deep learning, in particular to a three-dimensional positioning method and a three-dimensional positioning device based on a three-dimensional convolution neural network and by utilizing the channel characteristics of the large-scale antenna array.
Background
Services based on geographical location, as well as a wide arrangement of devices, place demands on accurate positioning. Traditional global positioning systems (such as GPS, beidou, galileo, etc.) can realize relatively accurate positioning under the condition of line of sight. However, in the environment with many obstacles such as urban buildings, the traditional global positioning system will generate serious errors due to the shielding and reflection caused by buildings, vehicles, pedestrians, etc.
In non-line-of-sight environments, fingerprint positioning methods using position fingerprint information have received much attention. Fingerprint positioning is a matching-positioning method, which includes off-line and on-line stages. In the off-line phase, the location reference point is selected, and the fingerprint information and the coordinate information are collected in the database. In the online phase, the location of the user is estimated by matching the fingerprint of the user's mobile terminal with the fingerprints in the database. Most fingerprinting methods use Received Signal Strength (RSS) based measurement information, which is affected by the heterogeneity of hardware and environmental changes. The channel state information has the potential of improving the accuracy of the fingerprint positioning method, but in some scenarios, such as a wireless sensor network and a WiFi network, the channel state information cannot capture sufficient multipath information, and therefore, the improvement of the performance of the fingerprint positioning method is limited.
Massive MIMO is a key technology in fifth-generation mobile communication technology, and due to the configuration of massive antenna arrays and the use of wide bandwidth, channel state information can capture rich multi-path information such as energy, angle and time delay. Meanwhile, a one-dimensional or two-dimensional large-scale antenna array is arranged on the base station side, so that high angular resolution can be realized in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, and three-dimensional positioning in space is facilitated.
When channel information in a broadband large-scale MIMO system is used as a position fingerprint, the existing wireless positioning method based on the fingerprint information has the problems of high computational complexity and storage overhead. Meanwhile, the noise factor also affects the accuracy of the existing positioning method.
