The application of intelligent computing in Internet of Things (IoTs) makes IoTs systems such as telemedicine, in-vehicle IoT, and smart home more intelligent and efficient. Secure communication and secure resource sharing among intelligent terminals are essential. A secure communication channel for intelligent terminals can be established through group key agreement (GKA), thereby ensuring the security communication and resource sharing for intelligent | ZHANG ET AL.
Existing near-field localization algorithms generally face a scalability issue when the number of antennas at the sensor array goes large. To address this issue, this paper studies a passive localization system, where an extremely large-scale antenna array (ELAA) is deployed at the base station (BS) to locate a user that transmits signals. The user is considered to be in the near-field (Fresnel) region of the BS array. We propose a novel algorithm, named array partitioning based location estimation (APLE), for scalable near-field localization. The APLE algorithm is developed based on the basic assumption that, by partitioning the ELAA into multiple subarrays, the user can be approximated as in the far-field region of each subarray. The APLE algorithm determines the user's location by exploiting the differences in the angles of arrival (AoAs) of the subarrays. Specifically, we establish a probability model of the received signal based on the geometric constraints of the user's location and the observed AoAs. Then, a message-passing algorithm, i.e., the proposed APLE algorithm, is designed for user localization. APLE exhibits linear computational complexity with the number of BS antennas, leading to a significant reduction in complexity compared to the existing methods. Besides, numerical results demonstrate that the proposed APLE algorithm outperforms the existing baselines in terms of localization accuracy.
