Ericsson MediaTek Achieve Decimeter 5G Positioning Accuracy
Ericsson and MediaTek have successfully completed a world-first end-to-end (e2e) test of high-precision outdoor positioning. Utilizing standardized 3GPP technology for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Real-Time Kinematic (RTK), the partners demonstrated positioning accuracy down to a ten-of-centimeters directly over a commercial 5G network.
This test marks a breakthrough for industrial and autonomous applications where precise location data is essential for mission-critical applications. By integrating RTK correction data into the 5G infrastructure via the LTE Positioning Protocol (LPP), the solution eliminates the need for proprietary systems or complex external hardware to achieve centimeter-level precision.
Key highlights of the test
- Decimeter-level accuracy: The system delivered stable sub-30 cm outdoor accuracy, enabling the safe operation of autonomous vehicles, drones, and industrial robots in complex outdoor environments. Test performed with the handset’s built-in antenna (Note: with geodetic-grade antenna, centimeter-level accuracy can be achieved)
- Full 3GPP integration:The solution is based on 3GPP Release 16...
