• Abstract: Radio frequency (RF)-based techniques are widely adopted for indoor localization despite the challenges in extracting sufficient information from measurements. Soft range information (SRI) offers a promising alternative for highly accurate localization that gives all probable range values rather than a single estimate of distance. We propose a deep learning approach to generate accurate SRI from RF measurements. In particular, the proposed approach is implemented by a network with two neural modules and conducts the generation directly from raw data. Extensive experiments on a case study with two public datasets are conducted to quantify the efficiency in different indoor localization tasks. The results show that the proposed approach can generate highly accurate SRI, and significantly outperforms conventional techniques in both non-line-of-sight (NLOS) detection and ranging error mitigation.

  Delay-and-sum beamforming leads to irreversible reduction of Radio-Frequency (RF) channel data. rich contextual information embedded within RF wavefronts offers great promise for guiding Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) in challenging localization scenarios. We propose to directly localize scatterers in RF channel data using learned feature channel shuffling, non-maximum suppression, and a semi-global convolutional block.

  We propose a framework of disentangled representation learning(DRL) that first learns to factor the input signals into a device-relevant component and a device-irrelevant component via adversarial learning. The implicit data augmentation in the proposed framework imposes a regularization on the RFF extractor to avoid the possible overfitting of device-irrelevant channel statistics. Experiments validate that the proposed approach, referred to as DR-RFF, outperforms conventional methods in terms of generalizability to unknown complicated propagation environments.
