Abstract
The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by theinventors: “In a factory environment, in particular in indoor factory scenarios, there are many static andmobile obstacles and clutter. Static reference points such as fixed installed base stations (gNBs, eNBs)or transmit-receive-points (TRPs) are utilized as positioning reference nodes. However, TRP-to-UE (UserEquipment) links in factory can experience severe shadowing and LOS (Line-of-Sight) obstruction resultingin non-LOS (None-Line-of-Sight) with corresponding performance degradation. Shadowing and NLOS ishard to predict due to mobility of both user devices, i.e. UEs and mobile obstacles. Shadowing and NLOSin factory create significant RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power) reduction and increased multipatheffects resulting in increased positioning error.”
