Interference Mitigation for Metro Train Location Based on Karhunen–Loeve Decomposition

Abstract

We propose a communication positioning integrated signal (CPIS) to achieve sub-meter positioning of metro trains. However, the electromagnetic environment of metro trains is complex, and the interference of radio frequency signals will reduce the accuracy of train positioning and affect the safe operation of trains. In this paper, an interference mitigation method for metro train positioning based on Karhunen–Loeve decomposition is proposed. The signal is orthogonally expanded, and the eigenvalues of the interference signal are obtained according to the distribution characteristics of the eigenvalues. The reconstructed interference signal is then subtracted from the received signal to achieve interference suppression. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the method in interference scenarios.
