Ubiquitous implementation of indoor location-based technology is recognized that one of the important elements of the technology. Specifically, the hospital management of patients, the silver-town management, the implementation of the smart home for the indoors rather than outdoors in a range of broadband users for location-aware technology is needed. This paper in wireless devices with an indoor location awareness shows about the system's technical design and implementation. Location-based technology for wireless LAN users aware of the strength of radio signals (Received Signal Strength Indication, RSSI) using trilateration. Topographic mapping system will be implemented wireless devices and servers, Access Point (AP), which is the system's development and testing throughout the physical environment to determine the potential for real-life applications.

최근 실내 위치 인식을 위하여 IEEE 802.15.4a에 기반한 거리측정 및 이 값들을 이용한 다양한 위치 인식 기법이 제안되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 실내에서 간단한 초음파 모듈과 적은 수의 IEEE 802.15.4a 노드를 이용하여 고정밀 위치정보를 제공하는 기법을 제시한다. 제안된 기법이 기존의 삼변측량기법에 비해서 실내환경에 존재하는 다양한 전파 방해에 덜 민감하여 보다 높은 정밀도를 제공한다는 것을 실제적인 구현과 실험을 통하여 검증한다. 또한, 제안된 기법은 삼변측량을 이용할 때보다 상대적으로 적은 수의 노드를 이용하기 때문에 경제적인 측면에서도 이점이 존재한다.

In this paper, we propose and analyze the two way ranging (TWR) positioning technique using ultra wideband (UWB) for indoor environment. We employed IEEE 802.15.3a channel as a simulation environment and used to time of arrival (TOA) algorithm. UWB technology in a low transmission power the less the effect of interfering with the existing system, the frequency can be shared so that it can improve the spectral efficiency. And, positioning technique based on UWB with a very narrow pulse width has high accuracy in indoor environment. From the simulation results, it is analyzed the probability of error and positioning performance for channel effects and confirmed usefulness of the proposed scheme.

To offer indoor location-aware services, the needs for efficient and accurate indoor localization system has been increased. In order to meet these requirement, we presented the BLIDx(Bidirectional Location ID exchange) protocol that is efficient localization system based on sensor network. The BLIDx protocol can cope with numerous mobile nodes simultaneously but the precision of the localization is too coarse because that uses cell based localization method. In this paper, in order to compensate for these disadvantage, we propose the fingerprint overlapping method by modifying a fingerprinting methods in WLAN, and localization system using proposed method was designed and implemented. Our experiments show that the proposed method is more accurate and robust to noise than fingerprinting method in WLAN. In this way, it was improved that low location precision of BLIDx protocol.

This paper describes indoor location estimation intelligent robot. It is loaded indoor location estimation function using RSSI based indoor location estimation system and wireless sensor networks. Spartan III(Xilinx, U.S.A.) is used as a main control device in the mobile robot and the current direction data is collected in the indoor location estimation system. The data is transferred to the wireless sensor network node attached to the mobile robot through Zigbee/IEEE 802.15.4, a wireless communication. After receiving it, with the data of magnetic compass the node is aware of and senses the direction the robot head for and the robot moves to its destination. Indoor location estimation intelligent robot is can be moved efficiently and actively without obstacle on flat ground to the appointment position by user.

현재 실내 위치 인식 계산 알고리즘과 거리 측정 방법은 놀라울 정도로 다양하다. 그 중 거리를 측정하는 방법으로 마커를 이용한 방법과 RF(Radio Frequency)를 이용한 방법 등 여러 가지 방법들이 제안되었는데 본 논문에서는 사람이 이용하기 쉬운 RF를 이용한 위치 인식 성능 개선에 대해 다루고자 한다. RF 신호가 도달하는 시간을 이용하여 거리를 측정하는 TOA(Time of arrival) 방식을 사용하여 기준점과의 거리를 측정하고, 측정된 거리 값에 가중치를 이용해 장애물에 의한 오차를 보정하였다. 측정된 거리 값을 일정 개수를 모아 최빈값을 이용하여 정확도를 향상 시켰고 이를 통해 실내 좌표를 계산 하였다. 그리고 계산된 좌표 값에 칼만 필터를 적용하여 움직임을 보정하였다. 본 논문에서는 RF를 이용한 위치 인식 알고리즘을 제안하고 보정 전 데이터와 보정 후 데이터를 비교해 비컨 신호의 정확도를 확인하였다.

The most commonly used location recognition system is the GPS-based approach. However, the GPS is inefficient for an indoor or urban area where high buildings shield the satellite signals. To overcome this problem, this paper propose the indoor positioning method using wavelet and neural network. The basic idea of proposed method is estimated the location using the received signal strength from wireless APs installed in the indoor environment. Because of the received signal strength of wireless radio signal is fluctuated by the environment factors, a feature that is strength of signal noise and error and express the time and frequency domain is need. Therefore, this paper is used the wavelet coefficient as the feature. And the neural network is used for estimate the location. The experiment results indicate 94.6% an location recognition rate.

A different and effective method for indoor positioning system is needed and increased it's importance compare to the outdoor GPS based method. The FingerPrint positioning method is known as a superior method in indoor positioning system that maintains signal strength patterns for RPs(Reference Points) in database and compare the DB with the measured real-time signals on the mobile device. FingerPrint positioning method is necessary to establish an accurate database, but errors can occur by several factors. In this paper, we analyze the signal patterns of each terminal in accordance with connection state of access point and trace that the error in accordance with connection state of access point can be an important error in FingerPrint DB configuration through an experimental case study.
