Ubi-Home 환경에서 장치제어를 하기위해 다양한 방법이 제안되었다. 그 중 원격지에서 장치제어를 하기 위해 특정 기기(로봇)를 활용할 수 있다. 하지만 이와 같은 방법에는 로봇과 장치들의 위치인식과 이동경로 설정에 따른 제약사항이 따른다. 또한 이러한 위치인식 및 이동에는 미리 작성된 하나의 맵이 사용되므로 새로운 환경의 변화나 확장에 적용할 수 없다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 로봇과 장비의 위치인식과 이동경로를 위한 학습형 맵 작성 기법을 제안하며, 테스트를 위해 Atmega128v4 MCU와 AX-12+ Motor, AX-S1 Sensor, ZBS-200 Zigbee, CL-1L5/603LM Infrared Ray Sensor로 로봇을 제작하여 실내 환경 모형에서 테스트하였다.

Autonomous driving of drone indoor must move along a narrow path and overcome other factors such as lighting, topographic characteristics, obstacles. In addition, it is difficult to operate the drone in the hallway because of insufficient texture and the lack of its diversity comparing with the complicated environment. In this paper, we study an autonomous drone navigation using Convolution Neural Network(CNN) in indoor environment. The proposed method receives an image from the front camera of the drone and then steers the drone by predicting the next path based on the image. As a result of a total of 38 autonomous drone navigation tests, it was confirmed that a drone was successfully navigating in the indoor environment by the proposed method without hitting the walls or doors in the hallway.

The drastic growth of mobile communication and spreading of smart phone make the significant attention on Location Based Service. The one of most important things for vitalization of LBS is the accurate estimating position for mobile object. Focusing on IMU deployed in smart phone, we develop a hybrid positioning estimation framework with a combination of WPS. The developed approaches can strengthen the advantages of independent indoor applicability of IMU. The estimation of IMU is efficiently compensated by radio fingerprint based Wi-Fi Positioning System. We put a focus especially on the hybrid algorithmic framework. Compared on the existing approaches of WPS or IMU, we achieve the comparable higher performance on both of average error of estimation and deviation of errors. Furthermore test-bed based on smart phone platform is practically developed and all data have been harvested from the actual measurement of test indoor area. This can approve the practical usefulness of proposed framework.

기존의 지능형 홈은 주거환경에서의 사용자의 편의성이 중심이 된 IT기술 기반의 홈 네트워크 중심 기술이었기 때문에 에너지 절감 측면에서의 기술 적용은 거의 이루어지지 않았으며 적용된 기술 또한 기술적 수준이 매우 미흡하였다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 주택 환경에서 에너지 절감 효율을 끌어올리기 위한 요소 인프라 기술을 유도해 내기 위해 실제 사용자의 생활 행위 패턴을 에너지 절감을 위한 구성 요소로 파악하여 실제 이러한 생활 패턴을 정형화 할 수 있는 데이터 베이스를 구축하기 위한 할 수 있는 테스트 모델을 셋업하였다. 이를 위해 복도, 출입구 그리고 현재 근무 중인 테이블에 조도 센서와 인체 감지 센서를 설치하였는데 조도 센서와 인체감지 센서는 하나의 그룹을 이루며 생활패턴을 파악하고 조도 값에 따라 실내등을 소등할 수 있도록 한다. 개개의 센서 노드에서 수집된 센싱 데이터는 브릿지에 있는 베이스 노드로 수집되고 이는 인터넷망을 통해 서버로 전달되어 DB 구축되어 진다. 이러한 시뮬레이션 테스트 모델을 통해 에너지 소비 상태를 파악하고 정형화 함으로써 에너지 절감을 위한 기술 구현이 가능해 진다.

실내 위치인식 기술은 유비쿼터스 구현의 기반이 되는 중요기술요소 중 하나이다. 특히 병원의 환자 관리, 실버타운의 노인관리, 스마트 홈의 구현을 위해서는 실외의 광역범위보다는 실내에서의 사용자 위치인식에 대한 기술이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 무선랜기기 및 통신기술을 이용한 실내 위치 인식 시스템의 설계 및 구현에 관해 기술하고자한다. 사용자 위치인식을 위한 기반기술로 무선랜의 전파신호강도(Received Signal Strength Indication, RSSI)를 이용한 삼변측량 기법을 이용하였다. 구현될 시스템은 무선랜기기와 지형 맵핑서버, Access Point(AP)로 구성되며, 시스템의 개발 및 실제 환경에 서의 테스트를 통하여 실생활 응용에 대한 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper presents and analyzes field test results of E-VSB(Enhanced-VSB) system proposed by Zenith/ATl and adopted ATSC standard. In the field test, according to types of antennas we measured reception possibility, noise margin, ease of reception to analyze performance improvement of E-VSB system at each outdoor/indoor test point. Also, we verify a backward compatibility between E-VSB and conventional 8-VSB system and check selection of test point, and configuration of transmitter and test vehicle. By the field test results, E-VSB system did not only outperform over 8-VSB system at severe multipath environment such as indoor reception, but also verified backward compatibility with it.

Multiple antenna techniques employed in fourth generation mobile communication systems are affected on their performance mostly by transmission environments and antenna configurations. The performance of the indoor LTE(Long-term Evolution) MIMO(multiple input multiple output) has been rigorously evaluated with considering various diversity transmission schemes and propagation conditions in the paper. Specifically, MAC TP(medium access control throughput) and LTE system parameters related to the MIMO technique are analyzed for several indoor propagation conditions. The performance comparison between multiple antenna diversity mode and single antenna mode has been derived as well. The results performed in the paper give the guideline on antenna configurations of polarization diversity in LTE 2×2 MIMO for various indoor channel environments, and possibly are exploited by network operators and antenna manufacturers.

As the world becomes an aging society due to a decrease in the birth rate and an increase in life expectancy, a system for health management of the elderly population is needed. Among them, various studies on occupancy and activity types are being conducted for smart home care services for indoor health management. In this paper, we propose a random forest model that classifies activity type as well as occupancy status through indoor temperature and humidity, CO2, fine dust values and UWB radar positioning for smart home care service. The experiment measures indoor environment and occupant positioning data at 2-second intervals using three sensors that measure indoor temperature and humidity, CO2, and fine dust and two UWB radars. The measured data is divided into 80% training set data and 20% test set data after correcting outliers and missing values, and the random forest model is applied to evaluate the list of important variables, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity.

The evolution of civil engineering technology, exemplified by recent milestones like the completion of the Gangnam Global Business Center (GBC), has fostered the construction of expansive civil and architectural structures both above and below the earth's surface. This surge in construction necessitates a commensurate advancement in research and technology pertaining to safety protocols applicable to these vast edifices. Such protocols encompass a spectrum of concerns, ranging from the preemptive mitigation of accidents to the effective management of exigencies such as fires. As the trajectory of construction endeavors continues unabated, encompassing both subterranean and elevated domains, a concomitant imperative emerges to refine the methodologies underpinning precise indoor positioning. To address this need, an innovative web-based simulator has been devised to emulate indoor positioning scenarios for rigorous testing. This research further entails the development of an indoor positioning data Application Programming Interface (API) fortified by Geographic Information System (GIS) spatial operation techniques. This API is anchored in the construction of intricate test data, centered on the spatial layout of building 13 at the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI). Consequently, the study renders feasible the expeditious provisioning of diverse signal-based and image-based spatial information, pivotal for enhancing the navigational acumen of mobile devices. Path delineation, cellular signal mapping, landmark identification, and ancillary navigational aids are among the manifold datasets promptly furnished by the indoor positioning data API. In summation, this study engenders a crucial leap towards the fortification of safety protocols and navigational precision within the expansive confines of modern architectural wonders.

This paper proposed the method to find out the optimal sensing point of temperature in test-bed with the sensor of temperature, such as real residence. We selected optimal locations by checking temperature change which was simulated by the means of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and the variation of air flow. We made 3-dimensional model of the testbed using DesignBuilder software, and ran the CFD. We selected the optimum temperature measurement location of 1.5 m height from the floor and low temperature variation. The experiments were conducted 30 temperature and humidity sensors in real place. After that, we confirmed the results of temperature change.
