Tactile localization in mm-WAVE systems: Channel measurements requirements, challenges and opportunities

Millimeter Waves (mmWave) have recently attracted a lot of research interest in different domains. Among others, localization using mmWave became one of its major applications. In this paper, the tactile localization concept aiming at reaching sub-cm accuracy is introduced. The main challenges and approaches to realize tactile localization are also presented. The paper will mainly focus on the need for accurate channel measurements in conjunction with the applications opportunities namely in Ambient Assisted Living and indoor environment.
