| Popis: | This paper explores a novel Neural Network (NN) architecture suitable for Beamformed Fingerprint (BFF) localization in a millimeter-wave (mmWave) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) outdoor system. The mmWave frequency bands have attracted significant attention due to their precise timing measurements, making them appealing for applications demanding accurate device localization and trajectory estimation. The proposed NN architecture captures BFF sequences originating from various user paths, and through the application of learning mechanisms, subsequently estimates these trajectories. Specifically, we propose a method for trajectory estimation, employing a transformer network (TN) that relies on attention mechanisms. This TN-based approach estimates wireless device trajectories using BFF sequences recorded within a mmWave MIMO outdoor system. To validate the efficacy of our proposed approach, numerical experiments are conducted using a comprehensive dataset of radio measurements in an outdoor setting, complemented with ray tracing to simulate wireless signal propagation at 28 GHz. The results illustrate that the TN-based trajectory estimator outperforms other methods from the existing literature and possesses the ability to generalize effectively to new trajectories outside the training dataset.
