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.

For the indoor location, wireless fingerprinting is most favorable because fingerprinting is most accurate among the technique for wireless network based indoor location which does not require any special equipments dedicated for positioning. As fingerprinting method,k-nearest neighbor(KNN) has been widely applied for indoor location in wireless location area networks(WLAN), but its performance is sensitive to number of neighborsk and positions of reference points(RPs). So possibilistic fuzzy c-means(PFCM) clustering algorithm is applied to improve KNN, which is the KNN/PFCM hybrid algorithm presented in this paper. In the proposed algorithm, through KNN,k RPs are firstly chosen as the data samples of PFCM based on signal to noise ratio(SNR). Then, thek RPs are classified into different clusters through PFCM based on SNR. Experimental results indicate that the proposed KNN/PFCM hybrid algorithm generally outperforms KNN and KNN/FCM algorithm when the locations error is less than 2m.

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.

무선 네트워크 기반 실내 측위는 측위를 위한 특수 장비를 필요로 하지 않고, Fingerprinting 방식은 무선네트워크 기반 측위를 위한 기술 중에서 가장 정확도가 높기 때문에 무선 네트워크 Fingerprinting 방식이 가장 적당한 실내 측위 방법이다. Fingerprinting 방식에서 KNN은 WLAN 기반 실내 측위에 가장 많이 적용되고 있지만 KNN의 성능은 k개의 이웃 수와 RP의 수에 따라 민감하다. 논문에서는 KNN 성능을 향상시키기 위해 PFCM 군집화를 적용한 KNN과 PFCM을 혼합한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 신호잡음비 데이터를 KNN 방법에 적용하여 k개의 RP를 선택한 후 선택된 RP의 신호잡음비를 PFCM에 적용하여 k개의 RP를 군집하여 분류한다. 실험 결과에서는 위치 오차가 2m 이내에서 KNN/PFCM 알고리즘이 KNN과 KNN/FCM 알고리즘보다 성능이 우수하다.

Recently location based services is being expanded into the indoor service that can not access to the outdoor location informations, such as GPS. Thus, the research and development of an indoor positioning system with BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy) iBeacon technology has expanded. However, RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) that is used as the distance information between the terminal and for positioning iBeacon signal has a problem in that distortion occurs, information such as the signal attenuation and the delay due to the characteristics of radio waves. In this paper, we propose a reliable method of verifying iBeacon signal with the signal distortion problems for reliable indoor positioning systems.

As the demand for indoor location recognition system has been rapidly increased in accordance with the increasing use of smart devices and the increasing use of augmented reality, indoor positioning systems(IPS) using BLE (Bluetooth Lower Energy) beacons and UWB (Ultra Wide Band) have been developed. In this paper, a positioning plate is generated by using trilateration technique based on BLE Beacon and using RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator). The resultant value is used to calculate the PDR-based coordinates using the positioning element of the Inertial Measurement Unit sensor, We propose a precise indoor positioning algorithm that combines RSSI and PDR technique. Based on the plate algorithm proposed in this paper, the experiment have done at large scale indoor sports arena and airport, and the results were successfully verified by 65% accuracy improvement with average 2.2m error.

Most of location systems use RF signal. Because multipath is too severe at indoor environment, RF signal are usually used in outdoor positioning such as GPS. To overcome the difficulty at indoor positioning, m positioning is recently developed and is being vigorously studied. Some standardizations on UWB are in progress at IEEE 802.15 committee. In developing UWB positioning system, we should consider the synchronization of sensor network, positioning algorithm, sensor allocation, and so on. This paper presents a comparison of TDOA positioning algorithms that are widely used in location systems. Two algorithms are compared; one is derived by linearization, and the other is by analytic solution(CH algorithm). Simulation results show that the CH algorithm is superior to the linearized least square at indoor environment in that CH algorithm shows consistent positioning performance regardless of the visibility and geometry of basestations.

Recently, various positioning technologies are being researched based on signal-based positioning and image-based positioning to obtain accurate indoor location information. Among these, various studies are being conducted on image positioning technology that determines the location of a mobile terminal using images acquired through cameras and sensor data collected as needed. For video-based positioning, a method of determining indoor location is used by matching mobile terminal photos with virtual landmark images, and for this purpose, it is necessary to build indoor spatial information about various landmarks such as billboards, vending machines, and ATM machines. In order to construct indoor spatial information on various landmarks, a panoramic image in the form of a road view and accurate 3D survey results were obtained through c 13 buildings of the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute(ETRI). When comparing the 3D total station final result and the terrestrial lidar panoramic image coordinates, the coordinates and distance performance were obtained within about 0.10m, confirming that accurate landmark construction for use in indoor positioning was possible. By utilizing these terrestrial lidar achievements to perform 3D landmark modeling necessary for image positioning, it was possible to more quickly model landmark information that could not be constructed only through 3D modeling using existing as-built drawings.
