| الوصف: | Aerial vehicles are increasingly relying on connectivity to cellular networks, with 5G new radio (NR) and 6G technologies deemed critical for the next generation of indoor and outdoor positioning systems. Conventional time of arrival approaches require time synchronisation between base stations and vehicles, and a clock bias greater than 30 ns can result in a positioning inaccuracy above 10 m. This work, thereby, proposes an integrated positioning technique based on RF fingerprinting using ray-tracing data and reinforced with machine learning. The system leverages advanced sensing technologies, NR communications, and AI-driven random forests to enhance the precision and reliability of air vehicle positioning, contributing to safer and more efficient air travel and autonomous flight operations. The developed solution is evaluated in a representative urban canyon environment, in which the performance of conventional radio-based positioning systems is often degraded. Notably, a supervised learning algorithm based on the received signal strength and time of arrival is shown to exhibit an accuracy of under 3 m in 75% of the areas studied. |
