Localization Beyond 5G: technologies, methodologies, and challenges
As communication systems move to higher frequencies and start harnessing technologies such as meta-surfaces, the relation between positioning, sensing, and communication become tighter than ever. In this talk, we will cover some of the main technological enablers for Beyond 5G localization, and propose an algorithmic framework for localization and mapping. Special attention will be devoted to the connection to channel estimation. Finally, a variety challenges will be highlighted, which we must account for when designing localization systems.
