Abstract
Precise indoor localization in dense industrial environments remains a formidable challenge due to severe Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) propagation, which degrades traditional geometric estimation methods. This paper presents a hybrid CNN-Transformer framework for accurate indoor positioning in 6G networks. By combining convolutional neural networks for local feature extraction with Transformer-based architectures for capturing long-range dependencies, the proposed framework enables robust and precise localization in challenging indoor environments.
