Abstract

Recently indoor positioning technologies have been studied using the acoustic signal from a smart phone. Also multi-hop indoor positioning system in which the equipments measure their relative position successively has been proposed. As the total positioning error is prone to increase due to the successively accumulated positioning error for the multi-hop system, the error analysis is required for the system design. In this paper, the absolute positioning error for the multi-hop indoor positioning equipments successively installed is analyzed, and it is verified by computer simulation. According to the results, the accumulated positioning error is linearly increased as the number of the multi-hop increases.

스마트폰에서 음향 신호를 이용하여 실내에서의 절대 위치를 측정하는 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 또한 여러개의 위치 측정 장치들이 연속으로 자신의 위치를 측정하는 멀티 홉 방식의 실내 위치 측정 장치 시스템도 제안되었다. 이 경우에는 측정된 상대 위치의 오차가 축적되어 홉 수가 커짐에 따라 지속적으로 증가하게 되므로 실내 위치 측정 시스템을 설계할 때에 이에 대한 분석이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 연속적으로 설치된 멀티 홉 방식의 실내 위치 측정 장치 시스템에서 절대 위치 오차를 분석하였으며, 이를 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증하였다. 분석 결과를 보면 축적된 측정 오차가 멀티 홉 수에 따라 거의 선형적으로 증가함을 확인할 수 있다.
