Abstract
A method for autonomous vehicle localization. The method may include receiving, by an autonomous vehicle, millimeter-wave signals from at least two 5G transmission points. Bearing measurements may be calculated relative to each of the 5G transmission points based on the signals. A vehicle velocity may be determined by observing characteristics of the signals. Sensory data, including the bearing measurements and the vehicle velocity, may then be fused to localize the autonomous vehicle. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed and claimed herein.
