Abstract

Integrated communications, localization and sensing is one of the most addressed technologies considered for future mobile communications systems. In this context, a user equipment (UE)-centric mobile radar has been proposed to introduce improved situational awareness, and consequently potential improvement in network performance. In this paper, we derive an extended Kalman probability hypothesis density (EK-PHD) filter with a novel feature model, for a mobile radar based environment mapping, where range-angle detections are used to track map objects over time for dynamic map construction. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed filtering approach, we employ a realistic ray-tracing-based simulation setup, which models the full transmission chain from the transmitted IQ-samples to mapping results. Besides this, a simplified measurement model considering solely single-bounce specular reflections is exploited for providing further insight into the filter performance. The obtained results show that the proposed EK-PHD filter is able to provide high-quality mapping results, reaching around 10 cm landmark estimation accuracy in the considered millimeter wave simulation setup.
