This paper demonstrates the feasibility of using 5G Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) for tram localization in the context of Autonomous Tram (AT) systems. We develop a comprehensive MATLAB-based Urban Macrocell (UMa) simulation framework that generates synthetic SSB signals under realistic urban channel conditions, enabling systematic evaluation of power-feature-based positioning algorithms. Through extensive experiments, we show that a deep learning approach based on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, augmented with cross-attention mechanisms and Kalman Filter (KF), significantly outperforms traditional Round Trip Time (RTT)-based Least Squares (LS) approach, reducing the mean localization error by approximately 87%, from 59.79 m to 7.83 m. The combination of simulation-driven evaluation, comparative analysis against conventional methods, and incorporation of temporal and statistical modeling provides a solid methodological and performance foundation for subsequent experimental and practical deployments.

摘要

This paper demonstrates the feasibility of using 5G Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) for tram localization in the context of Autonomous Tram (AT) systems. We develop a comprehensive MATLAB-based Urban Macrocell (UMa) simulation framework that generates synthetic SSB signals under realistic urban channel conditions, enabling systematic evaluation of power-feature-based positioning algorithms. Through extensive experiments, we show that a deep learning approach based on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, augmented with cross-attention mechanisms and Kalman Filter (KF), significantly outperforms traditional Round Trip Time (RTT)-based Least Squares (LS) approach, reducing the mean localization error by approximately 87%, from 59.79 m to 7.83 m. The combination of simulation-driven evaluation, comparative analysis against conventional methods, and incorporation of temporal and statistical modeling provides a solid methodological and performance foundation for subsequent experimental and practical deployments.
