ABSTRACT
With transition of New Radio (NR) gNodeB (gNB) and User Equipment (UE) to millimeter wave (mmWave) 5G Ultra Dense Networks (UDN) provide opportunities to achieve impossible in previous 2G-4G cellular networks sub-meter positioning accuracy. Salient technical capability of 5G NR, distinguishing it from location estimation in previous wireless networks, is the possibility of bearing measurement not only by gNB, but also by UE. If 2G-4G cellular networks implemented mainly trilateration secondary processing with time of arrival primary measurement for UE positioning, 5G and beyond UDN, expect to widely use triangulation by angle of arrival (AOA) and angle of departure (AOD), estimated through beam management. Bearing measurements gained rapid adoption in 5G NR due to narrow beam antenna technology, practically realizable at gNB and UE, working in mmWave. Contribution of current research is simulation model investigation of bearing measurement with beam refinement for various use cases and parameters, allowing qualitative evaluation of its influence on positioning accuracy. Simulation revealed, that to attain beam alignment, not only array size should be increased, but also predefined within angular range equally spaced azimuth and elevation angle pairs for pencil beams should also be raised.
