Positioning methodologies for the next generation of wireless vehicular networks
Future wireless networks will benefit from flying base-stations, mounted on drones and
unmanned air vehicles. These flying network elements, integrated with ground-based
network nodes, will form 3D agile networks with time varying topologies. Proper
application of such networks will need precise positioning – not available through Global
Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) – which motivates the need for designing novel
localization and positioning algorithms for 6G networks. Localization is also a critical
component of realizing autonomous driving. The new advancements in wireless systems,
such as the introduction of mmWave, device-to-device (D2D) communication and
Reflective Intelligent Surfaces (RIS), will introduce new opportunities and challenges for
localization in beyond 5G networks. In this talk, we will discuss the research directions
for node positioning in next generation of wireless vehicular networks and autonomous
driving. Especially, in the presence of mobile network components in 3D vehicular
environment, we will show how D2D communication and cooperative positioning will be
a key factor in realizing smart networks of the future.
