| Project Title | Main contribution | LOCUS advances |
|---|---|---|
| H2020 HIGHTS http://hights.eu/ | A hybrid vehicular platform for sensor fusion and highly accurate localization. | LOCUS will seamlessly take the concept of hybrid localization and sensor fusion to any mobile platform, not just vehicular contexts. |
| H2020 5G-PPP Flex5Gware https://5g-ppp.eu/flex5gware/ | Highly reconfigurable hardware and HW-agnostic SW platforms, including location awareness for context-dependent networking. | LOCUS will provide accurate location information not only as a tool for optimized networking, but rather as a holistic operator-managed service for any vertical applications. |
| FP7 EUWB http://www.euwb.eu/ | A location tracking-capable UWB platform for high- and low-data rate communications. | Whereas EUWB counted on an ad hoc platform, LOCUS will provide location-tracking capabilities by exploiting future 5G networks. |
| FP7 SELECT http://selectwireless.eu/ | A cheap indoor WSN for detection, identification and tracking. | LOCUS will re-use the concept of fusion of cooperating microsystems but will apply it in general scenarios, including outdoor ones. |
| H2020 ELAASTIC http://www.elaastic-h2020.eu/ | A Location-as-a-Service based on WiFi, cellular and Galileo signals, with APIs and clients for developers. | The LOCUS system will encompass any technology available to achieve accurate user localization; technology fusion will happen automatically and seamlessly. |
| Other H2020 GNSS projects http://www.gsa.europa.eu/gnss-h2020-projects | Galileo and other GNSS technologies have been used to propose efficient and accurate localization services. | LOCUS will not rely on GNSS signals that –despite common thinking– are not so widely available for indoor and dense urban scenarios. |
| H2020 EASME Nav4I | Indoor localization technology with accuracy of 1 m . | LOCUS will demonstrate the achievement of sub-meter accuracy not only indoor. |
| H2020 i-Locate http://www.i-locate.eu/ | An open data-based solution for indoor navigation for public health, private and public services. | LOCUS is focused not just on providing open data (e.g., maps) in indoor environments, but rather on a complete solution for localization that optimally exploits diverse technologies. |
| EuroCPS http://www.eurocps.org/ | A standardized design for cloud platform systems to incorporate localization and tracking. | LOCUS will focus specifically on the standardization and specs definition of a localization-enabled CPS platform. |
| FP7 EVARILOS http://www.evarilos.eu/ | A benchmarking system to choose the best technology and setup that provides accurate indoor localization. | LOCUS will approach the localization problem holistically, both by fusing technologies and by automatically choosing the best and available technologies in an optimal way. |
| FP7 EIGER http://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/110315_en.html | A personal navigation device relying on GNSS and UWB technologies. | LOCUS will be able to exploit any technology available in the environment and on the device, optimally and with no need for user interaction. |
| ONE5G https://one5g.eu/ | E2E-aware Optimizations and advancements for the Network Edge of 5G new radio | LOCUS will be able to enhance optimization techniques with the inclusion of highly precise localization info |
| COGNET http://www.cognet.5g-ppp.eu/ | COGNET focuses on applying Machine Learning to resource management, QoS assurance and network planning | LOCUS will improve the project by applying network management indoors and by including new ML techniques using other location sources. |
| MONOLOC http://monoloc.grupoinnovati.com/ | Advanced next-generation heterogeneous mobile network management platform with indoor user localization | LOCUS will improve the proposed solutions by including new NR techniques for localization combined (with ML processing) with other location sources |
| ICT17, 18 and 19 projects and Pilotos de Tecnología 5G | Projects aim to provide and support and validate 5G services in several scenarios | LOCUS may cooperate with such projects to use their trials and bring improvements in terms of positioning solutions, enabling new prospects |
