As a key technology for the fifth-generation of mobile communications, massive MIMO systems enable massive user access via large-scale arrays. However, their dense deployment extends the near-field (NF) region, introducing new localization complexities. Based on an exact spherical wavefront model, t...

description As a key technology for the fifth-generation of mobile communications, massive MIMO systems enable massive user access via large-scale arrays. However, their dense deployment extends the near-field (NF) region, introducing new localization complexities. Based on an exact spherical wavefront model, this paper proposes a multiple-cumulant-matrices-based method for NF source localization using a Co-centered Orthogonal Loop and Dipole (COLD) array. Firstly, following the physical numbering of array elements, we can construct multiple polarization cumulant matrices, which can then be cascaded into a long matrix. Next, the signal subspace can be obtained through eigen-decomposition of this long matrix, from which the horizontal and vertical components can be further separated. By applying ESPRIT, joint angle, range, and polarization parameters can be estimated. In addition, the asymptotic variances for joint spatial and polarization parameters are analyzed. Compared with existing NF polarization algorithms, the proposed method exhibits better parameter estimation and is consistent with a theoretical asymptotic performance.
