Ultrawideband based Localization for Harsh Environments Jiwoong Park

초록/요약

With the recent deployment of Ultrawideband (UWB) in smartphones, the demand for UWB localization has increased significantly. Since localization has been a well-studied technology for a long time, many studies proposed to adapt existing localization techniques to UWB localization. However, these solutions do not account for the environment-sensitive nature of UWB. They required a controlled environment to provide high-accuracy localization or could provide low-accuracy localization with meter-level errors in a harsh environment. This dissertation focuses on UWB localization techniques that can provide accurate UWB localization in a harsh environment. To achieve these goals, we first determined the two most important scenarios for UWB localization: 1) vehicular scenario and 2) indoor scenario. We propose UWB localization techniques to address the challenges of harsh environments in our target scenarios. At first, we propose a UWB localization scheme for vehicular scenarios, including a novel ranging protocol and an innovative peak detection-based receiving method. After that, we present a deep learning-based NLOS identification algorithm and an online model update algorithm to solve the problem of unpredictable NLOS in indoor scenarios. This dissertation provides an intensive performance evaluation of commercial UWB devices in practical environments.
