Abstract: This paper represents the results of a simulation study on positioning of a mobile unit in MIMO settings. We used two different approaches for modeling the mobile movement, combined with a simple geometrical model for the MIMO channel. Three different particle filters were implemented for the position estimation. The results show that all three filters are able to achieve estimation accuracy required by Federal Communication Commission. The dimensionality of the particle filter state space is independent of the number of antenna elements, and it is possible to increase the number of antennas and use more sophisticated channel models without changing the filtering algorithms.
