Abstract

Millimeter wave (MMW) communication, noted for its merit of wide bandwidth and high-speed transmission, is also a competitive implementation of the Internet of Everything (IoE). In an always-connected world, mutual data transmission and localization are the primary issues, such as the application of MMW application in autonomous vehicles and intelligent robots. Recently, artificial intelligence technologies have been adopted for the issues in the MMW communication domain. In this paper, MLP-mmWP, a deep learning method, is proposed to localize the user with respect to MMW communication information. The proposed method employs seven sequences of beamformed fingerprints (BFFs) to estimate localization, which includes line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) transmissions. As far as we know, MLP-mmWP is the first method to apply the MLP-Mixer neural network to the task of MMW positioning. Moreover, experimental results in a public dataset demonstrate that MLP-mmWP outperforms the existing state-of-the-art methods. Specifically, in a simulation area of 400 × 400 m2, the positioning mean absolute error is 1.78 m, and the 95th percentile prediction error is 3.96 m, representing improvements of 11.8% and 8.2%, respectively.
