Abstract

This paper studies the performance of a user positioning system using Channel State Information (CSI) of a Massive MIMO (MaMIMO) system. To infer the position of the user from the CSI, a Convolutional Neural Network is designed and evaluated through a novel dataset. This dataset contains indoor MaMIMO CSI measurements using three different antenna topologies, covering a 2.5 m by 2.5 m indoor area. We show that we can train a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model to estimate the position of a user inside this area with a mean error of less than half a wavelength. Moreover, once the model is trained on a given scenario and antenna topology, Transfer Learning is used to repurpose the acquired knowledge towards another scenario with significantly different antenna topology and configuration. Our results show that it is possible to further train the CNN using only a small amount of extra labelled samples for the new topology. This transfer learning approach is able to reach accurate results, paving the road to a practical CSI-based positioning system powered by CNNs.
