Enabling IoT Self-Localization Using Ambient 5G Signals
Talkat 19th USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation (NSDI '22) · 2022-04-04..04-06·
summary
Claim: ISLA lets battery‑constrained IoT nodes self‑localize by overhearing ambient 5G and without any base‑station changes. It uses a fabricated MEMS spike‑train RF filter to sample sparse slices across a 100 MHz band with a 6.25 MHz ADC, stretching effective bandwidth and giving 16× finer ranging resolution. A prototype and outdoor tests on three large testbeds show practical operation and roughly 3.35× localization improvement versus narrowband sensing, matching a full 100 MHz receiver.
