Summary
Introduction – It is envisioned that the future wireless communication is more data driven. Given that new frequency bands with large bandwidth aided by mobile edge cloud, beamforming and AI techniques result in number of opportunities for joint sensing and localization. Fixed and mobile short range, adhoc, point to point communications can be realized in applications such as automotive, drones, robotics, health monitoring and many more ap. Such new applications can be realized by the combination sensing and localization and through the complex high dimensional data arising out of large number of observations.
Challenges – In wireless networks, it is always a challenge for high-accuracy cm-level user localization. Earlier, ML methods for localization mainly focused on some form of supervised learning strategy using regression and classification of data. ML techniques is not suitable when the data acquired is noisy, multi-modal with nonlinear characteristics Artificial Intelligence techniques have seen a massive rise in popularity due to its capability of end-to-end learning, prediction and decision making. AI methods can simultaneously model complex radio signal characteristics and fuse many inputs sensors. However, the challenge is in the form of lack of labelled data.
Aims: Through this special issue, experts and researchers in industry and academia are invited to submit their innovative ideas and practices through original research articles. The aim is to present a comprehensive collection on the challenges and research directions to facilitate combined sensing and localization towards a more reliable 6G mobile wireless networks.
