In cognitive radio networks, acquirement of position information of primary user is very important to secondary network since localization information of primary users can be utilized for improving the spectrum efficiency of secondary network and for avoiding harmful interference to primary users by using proper power control. Among various location methods, Received Signal Strength (RSS)-based localization has been widely used for distance measurements in the location detection process despite its inherent inaccuracy because it can be easily implemented without any additional hardware cost. In the RSS-based localization, the distance is measured by the received signal strength, and distance error can be caused by many factors such as fading, shadowing and obstacle between two nodes. In the paper, therefore we propose a localization scheme based on estimation of path-loss exponent to localize the location of primary users more accurately. Through simulations, it is shown that the proposed scheme can provide less localization error and interference rate to primary users than other schemes.

Moving objects are spatiotemporal data that change their location or shape continuously over time. Their location coordinates are periodically measured and stored i3l the application systems. The linear function is mainly used to estimate the location information that is not in the system at the query time point. However, a new method is needed to improve uncertainties of the location representation, because the location estimation by linear function induces the estimation error. This paper proposes an application method of the cubic spline interpolation in order to reduce deviation of the location estimation by linear function. First, we define location information of the moving object on the two-dimensional space. Next, we apply the cubic spline interpolation to location estimation of the proposed data model and describe algorithm of the estimation operation. Finally, the precision of this estimation operation model is experimented. The experimentation comes out more accurate results than the method by linear function.

GPS 신호에는 여러 가지 오차가 포함되어 사용자가 이를 그대로 이용할 경우 높은 정확도의 위치를 얻을 수 없다. 따라서 신호의 오차를 제거하고 높은 위치 정확도를 얻기 위하여 여러 가지 보정시스템들이 개발되어왔다. 그 중에서 광역보정시스템은 여러 개의 기준국 네트워크로부터 데이터를 수집하여 3차원 위성궤도 오차, 위성 시계오차, 서비스 지역의 전리층 지연 오차를 추정하여 사용자에게 보정정보를 제공한다. 사용자는 보정정보를 수신하여 자신의 위치에 맞는 오차정보를 계산하여 정확도를 높일 수 있다. 이러한 광역보정시스템의 성능은 기준국의 배치에 따라 차이를 보일 수 있으므로 적절한 기준국 선정을 위해서는 기준국 네트워크 변화에 따른 성능 분석이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 국토해양부 NDGPS 기준국 중에서 후보군을 선정한 후 시뮬레이션을 통하여 기준국 네트워크 변화에 따른 사용자 정확도, 가용성을 분석하였다. 그리고 실제 기준국에서 수집된 측정치를 처리하여 성능분석을 수행하였다.

In wireless sensor networks(WSNs), geographical routing algorithms can enhance the network capacity. However, in real WSNs, it is difficult for each node to know its physical location accurately. Especially, indoor environments contain various obstacles such as concrete wall, furniture which cause non-line-of-sight(NLOS) conditions. To solve the problem, we propose location error compensation algorithm by using two difference topology constructions. First topology is based on mobile node's location which is obtained from anchor nodes. Second topology is based on mutual distance from neighbor nodes. The proposed algorithm efficiently detects and corrects the location errors and significantly enhances the network performance of geographic routing in the presence of location errors.

카메라 영상을 통하여 무인 헬리콥터 동작을 추정하기 위해 적응형 가중치를 사용한 새로운 Ego-Motion을 검출 기법을 제안하였다. 무인 헬리콥터 동적 특성은 비선형이며, 심한 진동 발생으로 영상 번짐(blur) 현상이 나타나기 때문에 상관 값만을 고려한 정합 방법으로는 빈번히 오차가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 가속도, 각 가속도 및 제어입력 값에 의한 위치 추정 값과 상관 값 및 에지 강도를 가중치에 의해 융합하여 정확한 Ego-Motion을 계산할 수 있는 기법을 제안하였다. 또한 무인 헬리콥터의 가속도, 각 가속도, 상하 속도에 따라서 영상의 번짐 정도가 달라 이들 같이 크면 위치오차에 가중을 크게 주고, 작으면 상관 값에 가중치를 적게 주는 적응형 가중치 결정 알고리즘을 적용하였다. 제안한 적응형 가중치 기법을 무인 헬리콥터에 실험한 결과 카메라에 포착된 영상에 의해 무인헬기의 동작을 정확히 추정 할 수 있었다.

The Origin-Destination(OD) matrix is very important in describing transport movements in a region. The OD matrix can be estimated using traffic counts on links in the transport network and other available information. This information on the travel is often contained in a target OD matrix and traffic counts in links. To estimate an OD matrix from traffic counts, they are the major input data which obviously affects the accuracy of the OD matrix estimated, Generally, the quality of an estimated OD matrix depends much on the reliability of the input data, and the number and locations of traffic counting points in the network. Any Process regarding the traffic counts such as the amount and their location has to be carefully studied. The objective of this study is to select of the optimal location of traffic counting points for the OD matrix estimation. The model was tested in nationwide network. The network consists of 224 zones, 3,125 nodes and 6,725 links except to inner city road links. The OD matrix applied for selection of traffic counting points was estimated to 3-constrained entropy maximizing model. The results of this study follow that : the selected alternative to the best optimal counting points of six alternatives is the alternative using common links of OD matrix and vehicle-km and traffic density(13.0% of 6,725 links), however the worst alternative is alternative of all available traffic counting points(44.9% of 6,725 links) in the network. Finally, it should be concluded that the accuracy of reproduced OD matrix using traffic counts related much to the number of traffic counting points and locations.

An underwater platform operating a passive sonar needs to acquire the target position to perform its mission. In an environment where sea-floor reflections exist, the position of a target can be estimated using the difference in the arrival time between the signals received through multipaths. In this paper, a method of localization for passive sonar is introduced, based on the EKF (Extended Kalman Filter) using the multipath time difference of arrival in underwater environments. TMA (Target Motion Analysis) requires accumulated measurements for long periods and has limitations on own-ship movement, allowing it to be used only in certain situations. The proposed method uses an EKF, which takes measurements of the time differences of the signal arrival in multipath environments. The method allows for target localization without restrictions on own-ship movement or the need for an observation time. To analyze the performance of the proposed method, simulation according to the distance and depth of the target was performed repeatedly, and the localization error according to the distance and water depth were analyzed. In addition, the correlation with the estimated position error was assessed by analyzing the arrival time difference according to the water depth.

GMTI (Ground Moving Target Indication) radar system can detect ground moving targets and can provide position and velocity information of each target. However, the azimuth position of target has some offset because of the hardware errors such as mechanical tolerances. In this case, an error occurs no matter how accurate the monopulse ratio is. In this paper, target position correction method in azimuth direction has been proposed. The received sum and difference signals of monopulse GMTI system are post-processed to correct the target azimuth angle error. This method is simple and adaptive for nonhomogeneous area because it can be implemented by using only software without any hardware modification or addition.

무선 센서 네트워크에 대한 연구에서 센서 노드 로부터 발생한 데이터는 데이터 그 자체의 의미도 중요하지만, 데이터의 발생 위치 역시 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 기존 연구로 센서 노드의 위치를 추정할 수 많은 방법들이 있지만, GPS 를 이용하거나 절대적인 위치를 알고 있는 앵커 노드 등을 이용하는 방법들은 추가적인 하드웨어 및 여러 번의 통신이 필요하게 되고 그에 따라 에너지 소비의 증가와 앵커 노드의 손실에 의한 오차의 확대 등 많은 문제를 갖고 있다. 본 논문에서는 센서 노드를 하드웨어적으로 단순화 할 수 있는 거리에 기반하지 않은(range-free) 방식을 사용하여 무선 센서 네트워크에서 싱크 노드로부터 센서 노드의 상대적인 위치를 추정하고 추정 데이터를 기반으로 싱크 노드에서 보정하는 방법으로 자원의 제약에서 비교적 자유로운 싱크 노드의 역할을 증대시킨 위치 추정 및 보정방법에 대해 설명한다.

Recently, Lee et al. have proposed an algorithm utilizing the signals from different paths by using bottom mounted simple linear array to estimate 3-D location of oceanic target. But this algorithm assumes that sound velocity is constant along depth of sea. Consequently, serious performance loss is appeared in real oceanic environment that sound speed is changed variously. In this paper, we present a 3-D near field localization algorithm for inhomogeneous sound speed. The proposed algorithm adopt localization function that utilize ray propagation model for multipath environment with linear sound speed profile(SSP), after that, the proposed algorithm searches for the instantaneous azimuth angle, range and depth from the localization cost function. Several simulations using linear SSP and non linear SSP similar to that of real oceans are used to demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithm. The estimation error in range and depth is decreased by 100m and 50m respectively.
