Pedestrian positioning is generally performed by using GPS (Global Positioning System), and its precision may greatly degrade in urban canyons. To improve positioning precision of pedestrians, it was proposed that vehicles around pedestrians be used as anchors beside satellites. In this method, a pedestrian device overhears V2V (vehicle-to-vehicle) communication signals which carry the vehicle position and calculates a pedestrian\u2019s position using pedestrian\u2013vehicle distance\/angle information estimated from CSI (channel state information) of the V2V signals. However, angle estimation typically depends on the number of antennas of the pedestrian device. In this paper, we propose a new method to estimate signal radiation angle by tracking temporal change of CSI caused by vehicle movement during signal transmission and investigate its application to precise pedestrian positioning. Three-dimensional ray tracing simulations confirm that compared to the base method using eight antennas, the proposed method with a single antenna reduces average angle error from 13 degrees to 3.9 degrees, and reduces average positioning error from 2.49 m to 0.78 m.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20051430","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,6]],"date-time":"2020-03-06T09:26:41Z","timestamp":1583486801000},"page":"1430","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Radiation Angle Estimation and High-Precision Pedestrian Positioning by Tracking Change of Channel State Information"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Wataru","family":"Komamiya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Informatics and Engineering, The University of Electro-Communications, Tokyo 182-8585, Japan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5784-8411","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Suhua","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Informatics and Engineering, The University of Electro-Communications, Tokyo 182-8585, Japan"}]},{"given":"Sadao","family":"Obana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Informatics and Engineering, The University of Electro-Communications, Tokyo 182-8585, Japan"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2020, March 05).
