Algorithms for Enhanced Indoor Positioning and Tracking based on a 60-GHz Radar Platform

Wireless technologies are increasingly adopted for indoor localisation and tracking. Among them, radars based on 60 GHz phased-array transceivers are becoming a viable and low-cost solution, which delivers high accuracy with a low computational cost while preserving people privacy. In this paper, we propose two techniques for radar-based people tracking and localisation that tackle important effects such as delayed and spurious detection. We also offer a thorough and scientifically sound experimental analysis of the performance of the proposed techniques using an off-the-shelf phased-array device (i.e., the System-on-Chip (SOC) TI IWR6843).
