User/device positioning in 5G networks

In the context of mobile communication systems, user/device location awareness is an essential feature, e.g., for IoT applications. Therefore, it is an integral part of the design of mobile cellular systems (4G LTE, NB-IoT, 5G, and beyond-5G) and, as also highlighted by current investigations in the research community, more efficient and reliable solutions are needed. By leveraging measurements performed on real networks, this thesis work will focus on the development and testing of positioning techniques in cellular network scenarios, potentially applying machine and deep learning techniques.
