Abstract
In this paper, an indoor layout sensing and localization system with testbed in the 60-GHz millimeter wave (mmWave) band, named mmReality, is elaborated. The mmReality system consists of one transmitter and one mobile receiver, both with a phased array and a single radio frequency (RF) chain. To reconstruct the room layout, the pilot signal is delivered from the transmitter to the receiver via different pairs of transmission and receiving beams, so that multipath signals in all directions can be captured. Then spatial smoothing and the two-dimensional multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm are applied to detect the angle-of-departures (AoDs) and angle-of-arrivals (AoAs) of propagation paths. Moreover, the technique of multi-carrier ranging is adopted to measure the path lengths. Therefore, with the measurements of the receiver in different locations of the room, the receiver and virtual transmitters can be pinpointed to reconstruct the room layout. Experiments show that the reconstructed room layout can be utilized to localize a mobile device via the AoA spectrum.
