Deep Learning based OTDOA Positioning for NB-IoT Communication Systems

10 Apr 2020  ·  Guangjin Pan, Tao Wang, Xiufeng Jiang, Shunqing Zhang ·

Positioning is becoming a key component in many Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The main challenges and limitations are the narrow bandwidth, low power and low cost which reduces the accuracy of the time of arrival (TOA) estimation. In this paper, we consider the positioning scenario of Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) that can benefit from observed time difference of arrival (OTDOA). By applying the deep learning based technique, we explore the generalization and feature extraction abilities of neural networks to tackle the aforementioned challenges. As demonstrated in the numerical experiments, the proposed algorithm can be used in different inter-site distance situations and results in a 15% and 50% positioning accuracy improvement compared with Gauss-Newton method in line-of-sight (LOS) scenario and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) scenario respectively.
