Trackinging And Tracking - 972 Words

The objective is to demonstrate wireless user tracking and sensing with 802.11ad for AR and VR applications. The motivation for this objective is to reduce the complex communications and computation that is standard with today’s VR systems and reduce cost by replacing/augmenting conventionally used orientation and tracking sensors. (I) Develop a working demo of real time User tracking using 802.11ad (II) Demo would support extremely high throughput (1 Gbps) over an acceptable packet loss rate while tracking a user (III) Observe and note 60 GHz link characteristics and utilize it to enhance tracking functionality (IV) Proof of concept/demo would identify possibility of replacing/augmenting contemporary orientation and positioning†¦show more content†¦To the best of our knowledge, there has been no previous work which looked into utilizing 802.11ad for location, orientation and movement estimation prior to this. We divide the research plan and approach into two categories- Simulation Based and Experimental Work. The two categories do not follow a particular order i.e they can proceed independent of one another. A.Simulation Based I. Angle of Arrival estimation for varying beam widths using multiple trackers (MATLAB based). This would help establish a theoretical bound on the attainable accuracy and would serve to stand a basic reference. II. Investigate possible usage of MATLAB’s WLAN System Toolbox to aid simulation This might prove useful in later stages of the project if there is a need for 802.11ad waveform generation and simulation B. Experimental Work I. Characterize and extensively document a commercially available 60 GHz radio development kit (RDK) to gain familiarity with it and its software. The most promising solution seems to be Tensorcomm’s TC60G-USB3.0 EVK. This RDK is reasonably priced and provides access to critical parameters of interest. II. Use the RDK to characterize various 60 GHz environment which include: a long hall, a model home, an office, an auditorium and a large storage room. Measurements would first be obtained with a stationary system then evolve to a moving Rx. The main objective here is to explore various techniques to obtain
