Coordinated 5G LEO-5G cellular positioning for improved safety functions in heavy vehicles

Purpose and goal: The idea of this project is to combine non-terrestrial networks (NTN) with the land-based 5G networks for accurate positioning of heavy vehicles. With accurate position the traffic safety will increase. Expected results and effects: Here are the four concrete objectives: 1: Modeling the channel between LEO satellites and the ground segment.

2: Designing and implementing algorithms to coordinate terrestrial and no n-terrestrial positioning. 3: Comparing the positioning performance to the existing approaches (terrestrial positioning and GPS) 4: Disseminating the results for technical and non-technical audiences. Approach and implementation:

This project is divided into 3 work packages (WPs). WP1 will determine the modeling and setup. WP2 will focus on algorithm development and will be implemented to the setup of WP1. Finally, evaluation and comparison with existing work will be done in WP3.
