The 5G Positioning Competition aims to develop models that will provide the most accurate positioning using the existing 5G test network.Competitor teams will try to find the target/reward points determined by using artificial intelligence, machine learning or other techniques on a data set containing radio network performance metrics and GPS (coordinate) data. The team that detects these points in the most accurate and fastest way will win the competition.
Undergraduate, graduate, doctoral and open education students studying in Turkey and abroad can participate in teams. Teams must consist of at least 2 and at most 5 people (the advisor is not included in this number).
