Machine Learning-Based Non-line-of-sight Identification and Mitigation for Ultra-wideband Localization
摘要
In harsh indoor environments, ultra-wideband (UWB) localization system is susceptible to non-line-of-sight (NLOS) effect, which seriously degrades positioning accuracy. This chapter focuses on the application of machine learning (ML) in NLOS identification and mitigation. The UWB channel model is introduced, propagation characteristics of UWB signal are carefully analyzed, and NLOS errors are analyzed in detail by taking through-wall as an example. NLOS identification methods are categorized, and extraction of channel statistical features is analyzed. As an implementation of ML, the application of deep learning (DL) in NLOS identification is also discussed in detail. Furthermore, UWB localization algorithms that take into account NLOS mitigation are studied, and ML-based NLOS error compensation strategies are discussed.
