MudiNet: Task-guided Disentangled Representation Learning for 5G Indoor Multipath-assisted Positioning
In the fifth-generation communication system (5G), multipath-assisted positioning (MAP) has emerged as a promising approach. With the enhancement of signal resolution, multipath component (MPC) are no longer regarded as noise but rather as valuable information that can contribute to positioning. However, existing research often treats reflective surfaces as ideal reflectors, while being powerless in the face of indistinguishable multipath caused by diffuse reflectors. This study approaches diff…

"In Boston, between 1709 and 1713, townspeople protested vigorously and then took extralegal action when Andrew Belcher, a wealthy merchant, refused to stop exporting grain during a bread shortage in the city...he chose to export grain to the Caribbean, at a handsome profit, rather than sell it for a smaller profit to hungry townspeople, his ships were attacked and his warehouses emptied by an angry crowd...Bostonians of meagre means learned that through concerted action, the powerless could become powerful, if only for the moment. Wealthy merchants who would not listen to pleas from the community could be forced through collective action to subordinate profits to the public need."
