Abstract

Localization techniques are going to be a significant part of 5G networks, not only for user-plane services (e.g., navigation) but they can also be used to improve network performance using Radio Environment Maps (REMs). The REM’s operation requires an accurate localization technique that can work in adequate (radio) environments with high reliability. This paper firstly, provides comprehensive overview of the existing localization techniques that can be used in 5G systems focusing on cellular network-based solutions and advancement in satellite-based localization. Secondly, these techniques are analysed and assessed against the requirements stated for 5G REM systems.
