Occlusion-Aware Multimodal Beam Prediction and Pose Estimation for mmWave V2I

Signal Processing 2026-03-30 v1

Abstract

We propose an occlusion-aware multimodal learning framework that is inspired by simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) concepts for trajectory interpretation and pose prediction. Targeting mmWave vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) beam management under dynamic blockage, our Transformer-based fusion network ingests synchronized RGB images, LiDAR point clouds, radar range-angle maps, GNSS, and short-term mmWave power history. It jointly predicts the receive beam index, blockage probability, and 2D position using labels automatically derived from 64-beam sweep power vectors, while an offline LiDAR map enables SLAM-style trajectory visualization. On the 60 GHz DeepSense 6G Scenario 31 dataset, the model achieves 50.92\% Top-1 and 86.50\% Top-3 beam accuracy with 0.018 bits/s/Hz spectral-efficiency loss, 63.35\% blocked-class F1, and 1.33m position RMSE. Multimodal fusion outperforms radio-only and strong camera-only baselines, showing the value of coupling perception and communication for future 6G V2I systems.
