High Accuracy Localization Scheme Using 1-Bit Side Information: Achievability from a GDoP Perspective

초록

In this paper, we provide a novel methodology for high-precision positioning that utilizes 1-bit additional information, which applies to various positioning techniques. The proposed approach leverages binary information to indicate if a user is within a specified space of interest and refines the estimated location information outside this area. By matching the estimated locations outside the area of interest with the valid location information within, this methodology corrects the positional data obtained through any arbitrary positioning technique, aligning the estimated positions with the intended spatial boundaries. Performance analysis metrics, such as Average Positioning Error (APE) and Cumulative Distribution Function for positioning coverage, were employed to assess the effectiveness of the proposed methods. Numerical simulations demonstrate how the proposed method enhances the averaged positioning accuracy, significantly outperforming the conventional time of arrival method. Furthermore, the proposed positioning correction methodology demonstrates validated feasibility applicable to an arbitrary existing positioning method.
