Uplink SRS-Based Real-Time Indoor Localization System over OpenAirInterface

Ping-Yu Hsieh, Chieh-Chun Chen, Navid Nikaein, Ray-Guang Cheng

Indoor localization is one of the important services for future 5G-Advanced and 6G systems. This paper presents an uplink Sounding Reference Signal (SRS)-based real-time indoor localization system implemented over an OpenAirInterface (OAI) 5G Radio Access Network (RAN). The proposed system uses a Positioning xApp to derive Channel Frequency Response (CFR) measurements from uplink SRS measurements. The SRS measurements are obtained from the gNB through the E2 Service Model for Lower Layer Control (E2SM-LLC) over the standardized E2 interface. The xApp transforms the CFR into a 32-dimensional physics-aware feature vector and uses a Random Forest (RF) regressor to estimate the two-dimensional position of the user equipment. We implemented the Positioning xApp on an OAI-based 5G testbed in a multipath-rich indoor laboratory at EURECOM to validate the proposed system. Experimental results show that the proposed system achieves a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.12 m under random train-test evaluation. These results demonstrate the feasibility and limitations of uplink SRS-based real-time indoor localization over OAI.
