W5: Reliable Ubiquitous Navigation in Smart Cities
Time: 9:00–17:30
Room: Kaimuki 1
Abstract: Reliable and ubiquitous positioning and navigation is a key enabler for a variety of applications in smart cities. Outdoors, global navigation satellite systems (GNSSs) offer reliable and accurate positioning information in open sky conditions. In urban environments, the accuracy of GNSS positioning reduces drastically; and in indoor environments, GNSS positioning is typically unavailable altogether. To circumvent the limitations of GNSS in smart cities, and with the proliferation of the massively connected world of “Internet of Things,” alternative reliable and accurate positioning and navigation systems are sought to enable future applications, such as self-driving cars, semi-autonomous vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and location-based services. In this regard, cellular communication systems could prove to be attractive. In 3GPP, this was considered at an early stage, and it is expected that beyond 5G solutions will deliver a significant improvement over current solutions. The goal of the workshop is to solicit the development of new positioning and navigation techniques.
