Abstract
A hybrid positioning system for a vehicle includes one or more controllers in wireless communication with a plurality of surrounding vehicles located in an environment surrounding the vehicle and a cellular software defined network including an edge positioning function. The one or more controllers execute instructions to receive, from the plurality of surrounding vehicles, relative position measurements that are each indicative of a position of one of the plurality of surrounding vehicles relative to the vehicle, wherein the relative position measurements are received by the one or more controllers in real-time. The one or more controllers receive a precise global position of the vehicle and the plurality of surrounding vehicles from the edge positioning function of the cellular software defined network, and fuse together the relative position measurements and the precise global position of the vehicle to determine a precise position of the vehicle.
