최근 국내에는 원활한 교통 흐름을 위해 연륙교, 연도교등 다수의 해상 교량을 보유함에 따라 통항 안전 관련 해상사고 발생 가능성이 증가하고 있다. 반송파 위상정보를 이용한 정밀측위기법을 선박항해에 적용하기 위해서는 항해시 교량 및 시설물 등의 영향으로 위성 신호세기가 미약해지는 환경에서도 정밀측위의 연속성을 유지해야한다. 그러나 반송파 위상 정보는 미약한 위성신호세기 환경에서 측정잡음이 급격히 증가하여 반송파 미지정수 검색 및 유지를 어렵게하고 이로 인해 정밀측위를 불가능하게 한다. 본 논문에서는 위성신호가 미약해지는 환경에서 정밀측위의 연속성을 유지하기 위하여 관성센서 정보를 이용하였다. 관성센서와 위성정보를 이용하여 해당위성의 ICP(Integrated Carrier Phase)를 추정한다. 추정한 ICP를 이용하여 반송파 위성을 재구성함으로써 끊김없이 반송파 미지정수를 유지하여 연속적이며 안정적인 측위결과를 생성한다.

Recently location based services is being expanded into the indoor service that can not access to the outdoor location informations, such as GPS. Thus, the research and development of an indoor positioning system with BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy) iBeacon technology has expanded. However, RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) that is used as the distance information between the terminal and for positioning iBeacon signal has a problem in that distortion occurs, information such as the signal attenuation and the delay due to the characteristics of radio waves. In this paper, we propose a reliable method of verifying iBeacon signal with the signal distortion problems for reliable indoor positioning systems.

Ultra-wideband communication systems based on impulse radio have merits that are possible for the high data rate transmission, high resolution ranging are positioning system. Conventionally, in order to accomplish these features, the high-speed ADC (Analog to Digital Convertor) is necessary to apply radio determination system operating in time domain. However, considering low rate - wireless personal area network (LR-WPAN) aims to low-cost hardware implementation, the expensive ADC converting GHz sampling per second is not appropriate. So, this paper introduces a low complex AR (Auto Regressive) model based non-coherent ranging scheme operating in frequency domain with using low-speed ADC utilizing analog Voltage Control Oscillator (VCO) mode for the frequency domain transformation. To verify the superiority of the proposed ranging and location algorithm working in frequency domain, the suggested IEEE 802.15.4a TG channel model is used to exploit affirmative features of the proposed algorithm with conducting the simulation results.

Ultra-wideband communication systems for impulse radio have merits that are possible for either high resolution ranging system or radio determination. Conventionally, in order to accomplish these functions, the rapid analog to digital convertor (ADC) is necessary to apply radio determination system operating in time domain. However, considering that low rate - wireless personal area network (LR-WPAN) aims to low-cost hardware implementation, the expensive ADC converting GHz sampling per second is not appropriate. So, this paper introduces the high resolution ranging system operating in frequency domain with using low sampling rate ADC, and a new non-coherent ranging scheme utilizing analog Frequency Modulation (FM) mode for the frequency domain transformation. To verify the superiority of the proposed ranging algorithm working in frequency domain, the suggested IEEE 802.15.4a TG channel model is used to exploit affirmative features of the proposed algorithm with conducting the simulation results.

Knowledge of the physical locations of access point of WLAN is becoming increasingly important with the rise of location-based services. In this article, we propose a new AP localization method using neural network approach. Basic theory and properties are derived for precise outdoor AP localization using GPS location information and RSSI. Rules for neural network model are derived and simulation has finally been done to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method. The simulation results show that the proposed method can result in AP localization with very. low error probability.

The most typically utilized positioning method in the existing indoor WPS that is a positioning method utilizing distributed wireless network is the finger print. Its positioning is carried out by calculating the difference between the AP information map and WiFi AP signal collected. However, there are problems like low accuracy and high cost when the existing method and the radio map formation are applied to outdoors. In this paper, the characteristics of the existing WPS are surveyed and their problems are examined. In addition, we propose a new WPS using weak signal and a method to construct radio map in order to solve the above problems. And then, the results of experimental test will be analyzed.

This paper introduces the high-resolution channel estimation technique which are used to estimate the first arrival multipath delay component. The proposed technique yields the precise estimate of the first time arrival which is directly related to the performance of TDOA-based position location. The proposed technique utilizes the transformed auto-correlation function of received common pilot signal in frequency domain, its samples compose the hermitian Toeplitz matrix at sequel. Then the time delay components could be estimated with precision by the analysis of eigen-structure of corresponding matrix. In this paper, obeying the modified CODIT model, the performance of the PR-IPDL(Pseudo Random-Idle Period Downlink) and TA-IPDL(Time Aligned-Idle Period Downlink considered as 3GPP position location technique will be exploited systematically through the computer simulations with applying the proposed technique.

We propose IC-IPDL method, in order to improve hearability which is the fundamental problem of cellular-based location systems. The proposed method improves hearability by using interference cancellation technique for CPICH and modified-IPDL method for other downlink channels. The simulation results showed that IC-IPDL method has a similar performance of the case using standard IPDL method though CPICH exists during idle period.

차세대 위치기반 서비스의 최종 형태는 실내외 구분 없이 서비스를 제공하여야 한다. 그러나 실내에서 정확한 GPS 정보를 얻기 힘들기 때문에 실내와 실외에서 서로 다른 측위방식이 사용되고 있다. 따라서 실내외 연속측위를 수행하기 위해서는 실내좌표의 값을 실외에서 사용하는 GPS 좌표로 변환할 수 있어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 실내측위 시 위치 변화에 GPS 변화율을 적용하여, 실내측위의 변화에 따라 GPS 값의 변화를 주어 실내에서도 GPS정보를 얻을 수 있는 방법을 제안한다.
