Sparse Recovery with Attention: A Hybrid Data/Model Driven Solution for High Accuracy Position and Channel Tracking at mmWave

원문 초록

In this paper, we propose first a mmWave channel tracking algorithm based on multidimensional orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm (MOMP) using reduced sparsifying dictionaries, which exploits information from channel estimates in previous frames. Then, we present an algorithm to obtain the vehicle's initial location for the current frame by solving a system of geometric equations that leverage the estimated path parameters. Next, we design an attention network that analyzes the series of channel estimates, the vehicle's trajectory, and the initial estimate of the position associated with the current frame, to generate a refined, high accuracy position estimate. The proposed system is evaluated through numerical experiments using realistic mmWave channel series generated by ray-tracing. The experimental results show that our system provides a 2D position tracking error below 20 cm, significantly outperforming previous work based on Bayesian filtering.
