Positioning accuracy is a critical requirement for vehicle-to-everything
(V2X) use cases. Therefore, this paper derives the theoretical limits of
estimation for the position and orientation of vehicles in a cooperative
vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) scenario, using a lens-based multiple-input
multiple-output (lens-MIMO) system. Following this, we analyze the
CrameËŠr-Rao lower bounds (CRLBs) of the position and
orientation estimation and explore a received signal model of a lens-MIMO for
the particular angle of arrival (AoA) estimation with a V2V geometric model.
Further, we propose a lower complexity AoA estimation technique exploiting the
unique characteristics of the lens-MIMO for a single target vehicle; as a
result, its estimation scheme is effectively extended by the successive
interference cancellation (SIC) method for multiple target vehicles. Given
these AoAs, we investigate the lens-MIMO estimation capability for the
positions and orientations of vehicles. Subsequently, we prove that the
lens-MIMO outperforms a conventional uniform linear array (ULA) in a certain
configuration of a lens's structure. Finally, we confirm that the proposed
localization algorithm is superior to ULA's CRLB as the resolution of the lens
increases in spite of the lower complexity.Comment: 16 pages, 11 figure
