Abstract

In this paper, we are interested in the joint estimate of user equipment (UE) location and orientation for millimeter-wave multi-input-multi-output (mmWave MIMO) systems. In practice, mmWave signals suffer from small-scale fading, which degrades UE localization. Moreover, mmWave MIMO-based UE localization is a non-convex optimization problem, and the bruteforce application of conventional optimization methods will result in a poor solution or lead to large computational cost. In order to address the above challenges, we propose a novel simultaneous localization and channel estimate (SLCE) algorithm, where the UE location parameters and small-scale fading coefficients are jointly optimized. In such a case, the disturbance of small-scale fading on UE localization is alleviated. Thanks to our problem-specific update rule design, the proposed SLCE algorithm achieves a large performance gain over existing baseline methods.
