Abstract:

Deep learning technology provides novel solutions for localization in complex scenarios. Conventional methods generally suffer from performance loss in the long-distance over-the-horizon (OTH) scenario due to uncertain ionospheric conditions. To overcome the adverse effects of the unknown and complex ionosphere on positioning, we propose a deep learning positioning method based on multistation received signals and bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) network framework (SL-BiLSTM), which refines position information from signal data. Specifically, we first obtain the form of the network input by constructing the received signal model. Second, the proposed method is developed to predict target positions using an SL-BiLSTM network, consisting of three BiLSTM layers, a maxout layer, a fully connected layer, and a regression layer. Then, we discuss two regularization techniques of dropout and randomization which are mainly adopted to prevent network overfitting. Simulations of OTH localization are conducted to examine the performance. The parameters of the network have been trained properly according to the scenario. Finally, the experimental results show that the proposed method can significantly improve the accuracy of OTH positioning at low SNR. When the number of training locations increases to 200, the positioning result of SL-BiLSTM is closest to CRLB at high SNR.
