An Approach for Localizing User Terminals in 6G Mobile Networks

Determining the position of a User Terminal (UT) with a high degree of accuracy is crucial for enabling a plethora of emerging applications, such as immersive remote presence, holographic teleportation, connected robotics, augmented reality (AR). Such accuracy will require the incorporation of Terahertz (THz) frequency bands into 6G mobile networks. In this context, we propose an approach which combines the Angle of Departure (AoD) technique with THz localization for localizing UTs in 6G mobile networks. The simulation environment is set up by using NYUSIM 4.0. Results are expressed in terms of localization errors, and show that the mean localization error is very small, indicating that the estimated positions from the simulation is close to the real positions for a given trajectory.
