Positioning technology is performing important functions in augmented reality, smart factory, and autonomous driving. Among the positioning techniques, the positioning method using beacons has been considered a challenging task due to the deviation of the RSSI value. In this study, the position of a moving object is predicted by training a neural network that takes the RSSI value of the receiver as an input and the distance as the target value. To do this, the measured distance versus RSSI was collected. A neural network was introduced to create synthetic data from the collected actual data. Based on this neural network, the RSSI value versus distance was predicted. The real value of RSSI was obtained as a neural network for generating synthetic data, and based on this value, the coordinates of the object were estimated by learning a neural network that tracks the location of a terminal in a virtual environment.

WiFi Fingerprinting기술의 측위 정확도에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 요인은 수신되는 신호세기(RSS)의 안정성이다. 하지만 실내 환경의 높은 복잡도로 인해 같은 위치에서도 RSS가 시간에 따라 변화하며 불안정하다. 이러한 RSS variance 문제를 해결 하기위한 다양한 연구들이 수행되었다. 하지만 기존 연구들의 경우 시스템의 복잡도가 증가하며, RSS가 급격히 변하는 경우에는 측위 성능을 보장 할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 특수한 구조를 갖는 Neural Network설계하고 이에 최적화된 입력 Feature고안하며 이를 통해 급격한 RSS 변화에서도 성능을 보장하는 WiFi Fingerprinting 알고리즘 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘과 기존 알고리즘을 동일한 조건에서 시뮬레이션을 통해 비교한 결과 제안하는 알고리즘이 급격한 RSS 변화에서 상대적으로 높은 측위 정확도 보여줌을 확인 할 수 있었다.

WPS determines position via a two-step process. In the construction phase, a radio map is constituted by collecting radio information signals. Positioning procedure is a step of comparing the radio signal newly acquired with the radio map. If the signals collected and the radio map are different the accuracy decreases. Even though the rate of accuracy is different according to positioning algorithms, accuracy drop is an issue common to all WPS systems. Signal strength fluctuation is caused by the malfunction of the device that receives positioning signals, obstruction and channel interference, etc. In this paper, in order to solve the problem caused by signal strength change, we propose a new radio map construction technique. The proposed method is intended to constitute a strong radio map to changes in the signal strength and updated by collecting the signal strength changes to the radio map. The use of this method is expected to enhance the accuracy of WPS by actively counteracting signal fluctuation.

As of 2013, Korean population density is 505 persons per $1km^2$ and is ranked 3rd place in the most densely populated countries exception of city-states. It shows clearly the population is concentrated in the city area. To fulfil this urban concentration population demand, the enlargement and complexation of buildings, subway and other underground spaces connection tendency has been intensified, and it is need to construct the indoor spatial information DB as well as the accurate indoor surveying DB to promote people's safety and social welfare. In this study, Sadang station and Incheon National Airport were aimed for the construction of Wi-Fi AP location DB and RadioMap DB by collecting the indoor AP raw datas by using mobile device and those collected results were ran through the process of verification, supplementation, and analyzation. To evaluate the performance of constructed DB, 10 points in Incheon Airport- 3rd flr in block A, and 9 points in Sadang station-B1 were selected and calculated the estimated points and ran evaluation experiment using survey positioning error, which is distance between real position and the estimated position. The result shows that Incheon international airport's average and standard deviation was separately 17.81m, 17.79m and Sadang station's average and standard deviation was separately 22.64m, 23.74m. In Sadang station's case, the areas near the exit has low performance of surveying position due to fewer visible AP points than other areas. As total datas were examined except those position, it was verified that the user's location was mapping close position in surveying positioning by using constructed DB. It means that constructed DB contains correct Wi-Fi AP locations and radio wave patterns in object region, so it is considered that the indoor spatial information service based on constructed DB would be available.

In this paper, we present an indoor positioning system based on light emitting diode (LED). Because LED is a semiconductor light emitting device, we can easily switch and modulate electrical signals into lightwave signals at high speed using LEDs. We assigned unique 8-bit ID address to each LED lights. Photo diode receives data from 16-LED lights and takes correlation coefficient beteween received data and each LED-ID. Using correlation coefficient, proposed positioning system shows resolution of 50 cm in dimensions of $4\;m\;{\times}\;4\;m\;{\times}\;2\;m$.

Two design techniques for more accurate and more convenient hybrid positioning system with visible light communication (VLC) and ad-hoc wireless network infrastructure are proposed, in order to overcome the problems of high estimation error, high cost, and limited service range of the conventional positioning techniques. First method is based on a non-carrier VLC based hybrid positioning technique for applications involving of low data rate optical sensing and narrow-range visible light reception from transmitter, and long-range positioning. The second method uses a 4 MHz carrier VLC-based hybrid positioning technique for a high data rate optical sensing and wide-range visible light receiving from transmitter, and mid-range positioning applications. In indoor environments with obstacles where there are long-range 7731.4cm and mid-range 2368cm distances between an observer and a target respectively, the hybrid positioning developed with two design techniques are tested, and the proposed system is verified and analyzed in this paper.

Recently, interests on positioning system for location-based services have been significantly increased. Many indoor environment systems using fingerprint scheme have been designed to take more accuracy of positioning, but they are inefficient in adapting to change of environments. In this paper, we focus on a client-based positioning system over WLAN for decreasing installation cost and adapting to change of environments. In the proposed system, APs with stable RSSI are selected as base APs independently for each reference point. Experimental results show that proposed system expands service area approximately 20% much than traditional systems using K-NN algorithm and needs only 20% modification process to fingerprint data compare with traditional systems whenever environment conditions are changed.
