5G Deployment Strategies for High Positioning Accuracy in Indoor Environments

Indoor positioning is currently recognized as one of the important features in emergency, commercial and industrial applications. The 5G network enhances mobility, flexibility, reliability, and security to new higher levels which greatly benefit the IoT and industrial applications. Industrial IoT (IIoT) use-cases are characterized by ambitious system requirements for positioning accuracy in many verticals. For example, on the factory floor, it is important to locate assets and moving objects such as forklifts. The deployment design for different IIoT environments has a significant impact on the positioning per-performance in terms of both accuracy and availability of the service. Indoor factory (InF) and indoor open office (IOO) are two available and standardized Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) scenarios for evaluation of indoor channel models and positioning performance in IIoT use cases. This paper aims to evaluate the positioning performance in terms of accuracy and availability while considering different deployment strategies. Our simulation-based evaluation shows that deployment plays a vital role when it comes to achieving high accuracy positioning performance. It is for example favorable to deploy the 5G Transmission and Reception Points (TRPs) on the walls of the factory halls than deploying them attached to the ceiling.

Positioning in 5G networks

In this paper we describe the recent 3GPP Release 16 specification for positioning in 5G networks. It specifies positioning signals, measurements, procedures, and architecture to meet requirements from a plethora of regulatory, commercial and industrial use cases. 5G thereby significantly extends positioning capabilities compared to what was possible with LTE. The indicative positioning performance is evaluated in agreed representative 3GPP simulation scenarios, showing a 90 percentile accuracy of a few meters down to a few decimeters depending on scenarios and assumptions.

Investigating the effect of edge modifications on networked control systems

This paper investigates the impact of addition/removal of edges in a complex networked control system, for the purposes of improving its controllability, system performances or robustness to external disturbances. The transfer function formulation we obtain allows to quantify the impact of an edge modification with the $\hinf$ and $\htwo$ norms. For stable networks with positive edge weights, we show that the $\hinf$ norm can be computed exactly for each possible single edge modification, as well as the associated stability margin. For the $\htwo$ norm we instead obtain a lower bound. Since this bound is linked to the trace of the controllability Gramian, it can be used for instance to reduce the energy needed for control. When instead the dynamics is of Laplacian type, then the norms become unbounded. However, the associated displacement systems are stable and for them the effect of edge modifications can be quantified. In particular, in this case we provide an upper bound on the $ \hinf$ norm and compute the exact value of the $ \htwo $ norm for arbitrary edge additions.

Centrality measures and the role of non-normality for network control energy reduction

Combinations of Gramian-based centrality measures are used for driver node selection in complex networks in order to simultaneously take into account conflicting control energy requirements, like minimizing the average energy needed to steer the state in any direction and the energy needed for the worst direction. The selection strategies that we propose are based on a characterization of the network non-normality, a concept we show is related to the idea of balanced realization.

Minimum energy control for complex networks

The aim of this paper is to shed light on the problem of controlling a complex network with minimal control energy. We show first that the control energy depends on the time constant of the modes of the network, and that the closer the eigenvalues are to the imaginary axis of the complex plane, the less energy is required for complete controllability. In the limit case of networks having all purely imaginary eigenvalues (e.g. networks of coupled harmonic oscillators), several constructive algorithms for minimum control energy driver node selection are developed. A general heuristic principle valid for any directed network is also proposed: the overall cost of controlling a network is reduced when the controls are concentrated on the nodes with highest ratio of weighted outdegree vs indegree.
