In this paper, we propose a method to improve the accuracy of positioning by adding angle and distance validation to the existing Bluetooth-based positioning method using the angle of arrival. In the existing positioning method, an error occurs in the positioning value due to a multipath phenomenon induced in a non-visible distance environment. The proposed method derives the maximum and minimum angles of arrival that can be measured in consideration of the moving speed of the positioned device, and then examines whether the measured angle of arrival exceeds the range of the maximum and minimum angles of arrival. The accuracy of positioning is improved by conducting a distance validation check to see if the location of the device to be positioned and the distance to the positioning device exceed the effective distance. A simulation was conducted to analyze the positioning performance between the proposed method and the existing method, and it was confirmed that the positioning performance was improved through angle and distance validation compared to the existing method in a situation where the positioning error increased through the simulation results.

Space-Based Augmentation System (SBAS), which is one of the GPS augmentation systems, is a Wide-Area Differential GPS that provides differential GPS corrections and integrity data. In this study, we did performance analysis of kinematic SBAS surveying by conducting Real-Time Kinematic (RTK), DGPS, standalone, and SBAS surveys. Considering static survey results as truth, 2-D Root Mean Square (RMS) error and 3-D RMS error were computed to evaluate the positioning accuracy of each survey method. As a result, the 3-D positioning error of RTK was 13.1cm, DGPS 126.0cm, standalone (L1/L2) 135.7cm, standalone (C/A) 428.9cm, and SBAS 109.2cm. The results showed that the positioning accuracy of SBAS was comparable to that of DGPS.

최근 GPS(Global Positioning System)가 탑재된 스마트 단말이 빠르게 보급되면서 위치정보 기반의 다양한 서비스가 보급되고 있다. 위치정보는 다양한 맥락으로 해석 및 적용될 수 있으며, 교통, 군사, 공공안전 등 여러 분야에 걸쳐 광범위하게 사용되고 있다. 이에 따라 위치정보의 정확도 향상을 위한 다양한 연구가 활발히 진행 중인데, 실외 환경의 경우 GPS를 이용한 고정밀 측위 기술이 주류를 이루고 있는 반면에, 실외 환경보다 상대적으로 제약이 많은 실내 환경에서는 주로 네트워크 기반의 측위 기술에 대한 연구가 많이 이루어지고 있다. 본고에서는 기존의 측위 기술들의 장단점을 분석하고, 각 측위 기술의 단점을 보완한 복합 측위 기술 동향을 알아보고 향후 복합 측위 기술의 발전 방향에 대해 논의한다.

The United States has been developing a GPS(Global Positoning System), and now we can make use of it everywhere in the world. The author measured the usable time and took position fixes from three fixed stations in Japan in order to evaluate the positioning accuracy of GPS, firstly by the difference in the time of the year and, secondly by the difference in location between the stations in 1988. I was able to receive positioning signals from only 6 or 7 satellites, but in July 1991, 14 GPS satellites became available. The results obtained are summerized as follows: 1) The usable time was 7~9 hours from only 6~7 satellites. 2) In the case of the former, the time zone of position fixes varied with the time of the year and there were a little differences of the accuracy of position fixes except 3H(three dimensiomal high level positioning). In the case of the latter, there were not obvious locality differences in 3D(three dimensional positioning). But the positioning errors and number of data varied on each level in 2D(two dimensiomal positioning), although the positioning errors were smaller than 0.1 nautical mile. 3) Th standard deviations of Dep(departure) were larger than tat of D.lat(difference of latitude), and varied widely to the east and west. But the standard deviations were smaller than 100 meters.

In this paper, using the received signal strength of radio beacon such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, CDMA and GPS signal from the satellite, we propose the system of positioning which considered indoor and outdoor based on the Place Lab. Conventional Place Lab utilize the various positioning parameters to estimate the indoor location. However, this conventional system has limitations with respect to the range and efficiency of usage. Therefore, we defined the converged model of multisensor data and re-organized the Place Lab to overcome the limitation of a conventional system. Proposed system uses the radio beacon signal and GPS signal together to estimate the location. Furthermore, it provides the seamless PNS service with many mobile devices because this system realized by the OSGi bundle. This proposed system has evaluated the performance with SAMSUNG T*OMNIA SCH-M490 smart phone and the result shows the system is able to support the PNS service.

Floor number determination has attracted considerable attention because many applications require accurate floor number information for providing better localization services in multistory buildings. This paper describes a Wi-Fi-based, low-complexity floor number determination method for multistory buildings. In our scheme, with the exception of floor ID and received signal strength of each WAP, detailed information on the wireless access point (WAP) coordinates is not needed. The multi-wall-floor model is used for the simulation and analysis. The simulation results show that the floor determination accuracy is nearly 100 given an adequate deployment density of WAPs on each floor. The results also show that the proposed method provides a good estimate of floor number even when only a few WAPs are implemented on each floor. Specifically, the proposed method can work under extreme conditions, i.e., where there are no WAPs on a floor.

Recently, IPS(Indoor Positioning System) Technology has been progressing study and research, It has been studied in the fingerprinting and trilateration continuously. however because Fingerprinting and Trilateration Technology use AP(Access Point) for Positioning Calculation, Fingerprinting and Trilateration are not never had a credit positioning accuracy by using unstable RSSI in large scale. in this paper, to improve the problem about precise positioning in wide area, we introduced a concept of Sector including Cell. Sectors are not involved in each other and only fingerprinting calculation is proceed in a sector. we suggest this fingerprinting system considering efficiency and accuracy and compared to conventional fingerprinting, we demonstrated our system efficiency by mathematical techniques.

실내 위치 인식 기술은 Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy 등 여러 기술을 통해 시도되어 왔으며, 실내 위치 인식 시스템의 상용화가 급증하는 추세이다. 대표적인 실내 측위 시스템인 Wi-Fi 기반 실내 측위는 고출력으로 넓은 범위에 서비스를 제공해주지만, 각 AP 마다 파워 출력이 다르기 때문에 위치 인식 측면에서의 오차가 발생하고, Bluetooth Low Energy 기반 실내 측위는 10m Cell 내에서는 정확한 인식이 가능하지반, 10m 거리 밖 오차는 매우 크다. UWB(Ultra Wide Band)[1][2][3]는 저전력으로, 3.1~10.6GHz의 대역올 이용하여, Wi-Fi의 10배 이상의 속도로 데이터를 전달한다. 이때, 데이터 전달에 사용되는 전파신호는 레이더 신호와 유사한 특징을 가져 거리측정에 사용될 수 있으며, 실내 측위 시 15cm 이내의 정확도를 가진다. 본 논문에서는 UWB의 광대역을 이용한 핑거프린팅과 정밀 측위를 위한 TDoA 기법을 이용한 정밀 실내 측위 알고리즘을 제안한다.
