Machine-Learning-Based Classification of GPS Signal Reception Conditions Using a Dual-Polarized Antenna in Urban Areas (2305.03956v1)

Published 6 May 2023 in cs.LG and eess.SP

Abstract: In urban areas, dense buildings frequently block and reflect global positioning system (GPS) signals, resulting in the reception of a few visible satellites with many multipath signals. This is a significant problem that results in unreliable positioning in urban areas. If a signal reception condition from a certain satellite can be detected, the positioning performance can be improved by excluding or de-weighting the multipath contaminated satellite signal. Thus, we developed a machine-learning-based method of classifying GPS signal reception conditions using a dual-polarized antenna. We employed a decision tree algorithm for classification using three features, one of which can be obtained only from a dual-polarized antenna. A machine-learning model was trained using GPS signals collected from various locations. When the features extracted from the GPS raw signal are input, the generated machine-learning model outputs one of the three signal reception conditions: non-line-of-sight (NLOS) only, line-of-sight (LOS) only, or LOS+NLOS. Multiple testing datasets were used to analyze the classification accuracy, which was then compared with an existing method using dual single-polarized antennas. Consequently, when the testing dataset was collected at different locations from the training dataset, a classification accuracy of 64.47% was obtained, which was slightly higher than the accuracy of the existing method using dual single-polarized antennas. Therefore, the dual-polarized antenna solution is more beneficial than the dual single-polarized antenna solution because it has a more compact form factor and its performance is similar to that of the other solution.
