초록

실시간으로 특정 대상의 위치를 추적하는 것은 특히 u-헬스 서비스에 있어서는 이용자가 자율적인 통제가 어려운 상황에 처할 수 있음에 따라 중요하게 요구되는 사항이다. 지금까지 위치를 인식하는 대표적 방법으로 삼각측량법이 제시되어 왔는데, 이는 세 개의 고정된 기준점에 의하여 대상노드와의 거리를 측량하여 위치를 추정하는 방법이다. 그러나 특히 u-헬스 서비스에서 이용자는 위치인식을 위한 기준 수신장치로부터 멀어지거나 또는 수신장치의 장애, 고장, 부재 등과 같은 통신 도달성이 결여된 여건에 처할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 특수한 여건이나 상황에 적용 가능한 위치인식 방안과 이를 실시간으로 추적할 수 있는 방법을 연구하여 제시한다.

In some cases of u-health services, it is important and then required to pursue the location of users in real time because users could occasionally be in the situation beyond self-regulation. Location positioning has used two such typical techniques as trilateration and fingerprinting. A trilateration technique is usually based on three resident coordinates to identify the location of the target node. Ranging that measures distances between coordinates and the node is essential for applying the trilateration technique. Users especially in u-health services could be out of reachability in any such reasons as out of propagation ranges, fault of a communication counterpart, non-existence of possible communication facility, etc. This paper proposes a real-time locating method which can improve to identify and track the location of mobile objects. The method is based on references of identified mobile nodes as well as resident coordinates even though they may be partially out of communication reachability.
