For the measurement of absolute position of mobile robot in indoor environments, the ultrasonic positioning systems using ultrasound have been researched for several years. Most of these ultrasonic positioning systems to avoid interference between the ultrasound are used for sequential transmitting. However, due to the use of sequential transmitting, the positions of transmitter to receive an ultrasound will change when the mobile robot moves. Therefore the accuracy of positioning is reduced. In this paper, the new position estimation algorithm with weighting factor according to the time of receipt is proposed. By applying the proposed algorithm to existing Ultrasonic Satellite System(USAT), the improved USAT is configured. The positioning performance of the improved USAT with the proposed position estimation algorithm are verified by experiments.

The method of estimating a position using a GPS has been applied to various fields including a navigation system of an automobile. However, since it is difficult to measure GPS signals indoors, it is difficult to locate specific objects indoors such as a building or factory. To overcome these limitations, this study proposes a system for object location estimation based on Bluetooth5 for the management of materials in factories. The object position estimation system consists of a Bluetooth signal generator, a receiver, and a database server. A signal generator based on Bluetooth Low Energy(BLE) is attached to the material and a receiver is appropriately arranged inside the factory. In this study, we propose "Diagonal Survey Method", a 4 - axis survey algorithm using four receivers to reduce the error of existing trilateration method. The proposed algorithm showed good performance compared to the conventional trilateration and we verified the effectiveness of the proposed system and algorithm by performing the experiment by installing the system in the factory.

IEEE 802.15.4a standard can provide a variety of location-based services for ZigBee or wireless network applications by adapting the time-of-arrival (TOA) ranging technique. The non-line-of-sight (NLOS) condition is the critical problem in the IEEE 802.15.4a networks, and it can significantly degrade the performance of the TOA-based localization. To enhance the location accuracy due to the NLOS problem, this paper proposes an energy-efficient low complexity localization algorithm. The proposed approach performs the ranging with the multicast method, which can reduce the message overhead due to packet exchanges. By limiting the search region for the location of the node, the proposed approach can enhance the location accuracy. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms previous algorithms in terms of the energy consumption and the localization accuracy.

일반적으로 저가 장비를 이용한 수신 신호 강도(RSSI)의 측정은 전파의 특성상 다소 부정확한 정보를 제공하고, 이는 최소평균제곱오차(MMSE)를 이용한 위치 추정 방법에 있어 큰 오차 요인으로 작용한다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 수신 신호 강도를 이용한 기존의 위치 추정 방법을 개선하기 위해 센서 네트워크상의 유효 노드선정 알고리즘을 제시한다. 그리고 개선된 방법을 이용하여 센서 네트워크 기반의 실내 위치 추정 시스템을 구현 한다. 끝으로, 개선된 방법의 성능 검증을 위한 실험 결과를 제시 한다.

In an ultrawide band (UWB) indoor wireless localization, time of arrival (TOA) parameter estimation techniques have some difficulties in acquiring a reasonable TOA estimate because of the clustered multipath components overlapping or random time intervals mainly due to non line-of-sight (NLOS) environment. In order to solve that problem and achieve an excellent UWB indoor wireless localization, we propose a UWB signal model and a robust TOA parameter estimation technique that has little effect on the clustered problems unlike the conventional technique. Through simulation studies, the validity of the proposed model and the TOA estimation technique are examined. The performance of estimation error is also analyzed.

In this paper, we proposed and analyzed a RSSI based cooperative localization algorithm considering wireless propagation characteristics in indoor and outdoor environments for wireless sensor networks, which can estimate the BN position. The conventional RSSI based estimation scheme has low precision ranging due to instability propagation characteristics by time variable. Hence, we implemented ray-launching simulator for analysis of propagation characteristics in 4 case, and experimented proposed localization scheme with 4 RN and 1 to 5 BN. Simulation results show that NLCA has estimation error as 2m-3.5m, however, proposed CLA/ECLA has 1.3m-2.5m/0.5m-1.2m by same environments. Therefore, if we can consider channel characteristics, the proposed algorithm provides higher localization accuracy than RSSI based conventional one.

For location based service and context awareness services, accurate indoor positioning technology is essential. The TDOA method that uses the range difference between signal source and receivers for estimating the location of the signal source, has estimation error due to measurement error. In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed to select the real root among calculated roots using the range difference information, and the estimated position of the signal source shows good accuracy compared to the existing method.
