Abstract

Bilateration using two fixed nodes has been used in the field of the real time indoor location system in the narrow space such as building or ship passage. However, as the distance between the fixed nodes increases or any obstructions exist in their zone, it is difficult to detect the location of mobile node(user) due to the degradation of its reception ratio. In order to compensate for these problems, this paper presents, based on IEEE 802.15.4a chirp signal, a new real time indoor location system using stride measurement algorithm which can calculate the location through sensors attached to user. The proposed system consists of an ultrasonic sensor to measure the leg length, a geomagnetic sensor to recognize the user's orientation, and an inertial sensor to obtain the angle between the legs. The experimental results are shown that the proposed system has twice or more accurate output compared with conventional indoor location method in the section which is partially out of communication reachability.

고정노드 2개를 사용하는 이변측위 방법은 건물이나 선박의 복도와 같은 좁은 공간에서 실시간 실내위치인식 시스템 분야에 사용되고 있다. 하지만 이러한 공간에서 고정노드 간 거리가 멀어지거나 장애물이 있을 경우 위치정보 수신율 저하로 인하여 이동노드(사용자)의 위치 추정이 어렵게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 문제를 보완하기 위하여 IEEE 802.15.4a Chirp 신호를 기반으로 사용자에게 부착된 센서를 통하여 위치를 계산할 수 있는 보폭 측정 알고리즘을 이용하는 새로운 실시간 실내위치인식 시스템을 제안한다. 제안한 시스템은 다리길이 측정을 위한 초음파센서, 사용자의 방향을 인식하는 지자기 센서 및 다리사이 각을 획득하기 위한 관성센서로 구성된다. 실험 결과 제안한 시스템은 통신도달성이 결여된 구간에서 기존 실내위치인식 방법에 비해 2배 이상 정교한 결과를 나타내었다.
