위성항법시스템의 취약성에 따른 보완 시스템의 필요가 높아지면서, eLoran 시스템이 가장 현실적인 대안으로 인정받고 있다. 우리나라도 서해 일부 지역에서 eLoran 시스템의 테스트베드 구축 사업을 진행 중에 있다. 전 해양지역에 안정적인 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 추가적인 송신국 설치가 필요하지만. 여러가지 현실적인 이유로 인해 추진되기 어렵다. 이런 문제를 해결하기 위해 기존의 NDGNSS 기준국을 활용한 측위기술이 개발되고 있다. 이미 운영 중인 NDGNSS 기준국을 활용하면 전 해상에서 탄력적 항법시스템 운용이 가능해질 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 eLoran 시스템과 NDGNSS의 기준국을 활용한 지상파 통합항법시스템의 성능을 예측할 수 있는 시뮬레이션 툴을 제작 하였다. ITU에서 배포한 송출 주파수와 거리에 따른 신호 세기, 대기잡음 등을 고려해 Cramer-Rao Lower Bound로 수신 신호의 측정 거리 오차를 계산하였다. 또한 한빛호가 항해하면서 수집한 DGPS 신호를 통해 실질적인 대기잡음을 추정하는 방법을 사용해 기존보다 정확한 SNR 계산이 가능해졌다. 해당 결과는 추후 진행될 지상파통합항법시스템 개발에 유용하게 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

NGII (National Geographic Information Institute) has been providing VRS (Virtual Reference Station) service so that could determine precise positioning in real time since 2007. However, since the VRS service has to maintain the connected status with VRS server, the number of users who can use VRS service are limited by capacity of VRS server. To solve this problem, NGII has been providing FKP (Virtual Reference Station) service using one way telecommunication from November 1, 2012. Therefore, it is predicted that the usage of FKP service will increase in public surveying and cadastral resurveying in the future. However, the studies with respect to analysis of FKP precision for applying to public surveying and cadastral resurveying is not conducted enough. In this study, to analyse the application possibility of FKP on the public surveying and cadastral resurveying, the two kind analysis were performed. First is the analysis of accuracy according to the configuration of reference station of FKP and VRS. One is consisted of same reference stations, another is consisted of different reference stations. Second is the accuracy anlalysis of horizontal and vertical positioning acquiring VRS and FKP data in various measurement environment based on VRS regulation. Result of first study, Positioning accuracy according to the configuration of the reference stations satisfies related regulation. However, accuracy of FKP in case of different reference stations is worse than in case of same reference stations.. The result of second test shows that the horizontal precision of FKP and VRS in good measurement environment satisfy the allowed precision. However, in some case, horizontal precision of FKP and VRS in poor measurement environment exceed the allowed precision. In addition, the number of exceeding the allowed precision in the FKP is more than the VRS. The vertical precision of the VRS satisfy related work provision. In conclusion, the result of this study shows that the FKP only in open area should be used for public survey and cadastral resurvey. Therefore the additional studies with respect to the improvement of FKP precision should be conducted.

In 2013, NGII(National Geographic Information Institute) has developed and provided the KNGeoid13(Korean National Geoid Model 2013) to support the fundamental computation of GNSS-derived orthometric height. In this study, the adjusted ellipsoidal height, the sum of geoidal height and height by the leveling, is applied to calculate the GNSS-derived orthometric height without the local bias, based on GNSS static surveying and KNGeoid13. The mean of errors in GNSS-derived orthometric heights could be verified with the leveling data, which was actually less than 0.5 cm with using the adjusted ellipsoidal heights, but 3 cm by calculating differences between ellipsoidal heights and geoidal heights. By analyze the accuracy of GNSS-derived orthometric height depending on the duration of observation, we could realized 95% of data shows less than 4 cm accuracy, when the GNSS survey conducting for 4 hours spread over two days, but while the case of GNSS survey conducting for 4 hours and 2 hours respectively, resulted in 95% of data less than 5cm level of accuracy. Also, if the ambiguity is fixed, less than 10cm of accuracy could be obtained at 95% of data for only 30 minutes GNSS survey over a day. Following the study, we expected that the height determination by GNSS and geoid models can be used in the public benchmark surveying.

In addition to the VRS-RTK service, FKP-RTK service launched recently in Korea however unlike VRS, it is not yet applied to various surveying tasks. VRS system is operated in two way communication over the mobile Internet. When user send rover position data to network RTK server and the server provides correction data to users continuously. It causes to increase communications load and makes delaying or failure in data transmission depends on server capacity and number of concurrent users. In contrast, since FKP system is one way communication system, user only receives correction data and area correction parameters for the selected Continuous Reference Station from the server. Thus, there is no limitation to the number of concurrent users in FKP system and it would be more efficient than VRS system in terms of economic. To this end, we performed FKP-RTK test for Unified Control Points and Urban Control Points where are located at 5 regions in Korea to evaluate the accuracy. As a result, almost of FKP positioning data are in error range of ${\pm}6.2cm$ in horizontal and it would be enough for construction survey such as for earth work in limited except precise structure survey.

Recently, there has been an increase in the number of people who use the smart-phone navigation for using various latest functions such as group driving and location sharing. But smart-phone has a limited storage space for one application, since a lot of applications with different purposes are installed in the smart-phone. For this reason, road network data with a large space of memory used for map matching in the device for navigation cannot be stored in the smart-phone for this reason map matching is impossible. Besides, smart-phone which doesn't use the external GPS device, provides inaccurate GPS information, compared to the device for navigation. This is why the smart-phone navigation is hard to provide accurate location determination. Therefore, this study aims to help map matching that is more accurate than the existing device for navigation, by reducing the capacity of road network data used in the device for navigation through format design of a new road network and conversion and using a database of driver's driving patterns. In conclusion, more accurate map matching was possible in the smart-phone by using a storage space more than 80% less than existing device at the intersection where many roads cross, the building forest that a lot of GPS errors occur, the narrow roads close to the highway. It is considered that more accurate location-based service would be available not only in the navigation but also in various applications using GPS information and map in the future Navigation.

Todays, the rapid technical progress of smart device has been used for various social (wall-fare) services in our lives. Especially, most of these services are based on the Local-based Services (LBS) and this technology is getting popular more and more compared with before. Basically, LBS is able to support various types of geographical services such as vehicles' navigation services, Augmented reality services as using extensional local information such as GPS. However, LBS has serious mathematical vulnerability on the services frequently because of its miscalculated GPS data under interior and ambiguous geographical environment such like shadowed area. So, to overcome this limitation, iBeacon, which would be able to mitigate LBS miscalculation process, has been proposed recently among network experts. Compared with other wireless technologies, iBeacon is able to determine the accurate geographical data of certain local positions easily because it is not only designed based on low-powered data transmitting technology, but also, it can be much easy to be deployed. As users' dependency of smart devices are getting higher and higher and the use of smart device is also getting complex more and more, the users prefer to use various types of smart devices at one time. Therefore, in this paper, we propose the loss prevention system that is able to interwork smart devices networks as using iBeacon technology for users' better conveniences.

Ranging is divided into a synchronous scheme and an asynchronous scheme according to the presence of global synchronization between nodes. In general, the asynchronous ranging is preferred over synchronous ranging because it does not require an expensive high-precision oscillator for the global synchronization. On the other hand, in a conventional asynchronous ranging scheme, the packets, which are generated by all nodes in a positioning system of a large-scale infrastructure and need to be sent for localization by reference nodes, are considerable, which cause an increase in network traffic as the number of nodes increases. The traffic congestion lowers the throughput of the network leading to a considerable loss of energy. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a ranging scheme, in which virtual transmission slots randomly and discretely selected by a plurality of nodes are used to reduce the overheads needed in synchronizing the nodes, and the ranging is performed asynchronously based on the virtual transmission slots, thereby decreasing the network traffic. In addition, a performance test proved that the proposed ranging scheme was stronger than the TWR and SDS-TWR on an error range, even though the intensity of traffic was very low.

In order to deliver a centimeter-level kinematic positioning solution with GPS carrier-phase measurements, it is prerequisite to use correctly resolved integer ambiguities. Based on the mathematical modeling of GPS network with application of its geometrical constraints, this research has investigated an instantaneous ambiguity resolution procedure for the so-called 'integer constrained least-squares' technique which can be effectively implemented in real-time structure monitoring. In this process, algorithms of quality control for the float solutions and hypothesis tests using the constrained baseline for the ambiguity validation are included to enhance reliability of the solutions. The proposed procedure has been implemented by MATLAB, the language of technical computing, and processed field trial data obtained at a cable-stayed bridge to access its real-world applicability. The results are summarized in terms of ambiguity successful rates, impact of the stochastical models, and computation time to demonstrate performance of the instantaneous ambiguity resolution proposed.

For a high resolution real-time kinematic GPS surveying using carrier phase, positioning accuracy according to the OTF initialization was better than 1 cm with more than 5-minute initialization within 20 km baseline. Also, it is recommended that measurements be carried out when PDOP and RDOP can be kept less than 4.0 since the geometrical layout of satellites has a great influence on the positioning accuracy. After considering the initial conditions and measuring time zone for real-time kinematic GPS. post-processed continuous kinematic GPS and real-time kinematic GPS measurements have been carried out. A new system has been proposed to store measured data by using a program developed to store GPS data in real time and to monitor the satellite condition through controller at the time of measurement. As a result, it has been revealed that possible noise in surveying could be corrected and the accuracy could be improved.

Situation awareness services which increasingly expand their influence in everyday life can be classified into location-based service and social network service. Their quality of service (QoS) can be differed based on the location accuracy of smart phones and accuracy of directional recognition technology. This study was conducted to analyze GPS, digital compass, radio communication, and geospatial web information which can provide a clue in using the situation aware services based on lab experiments and surveys. According to the result of lab experiment on accuracy of determining location / direction with smart phones, owing to inherent lack of indoor accuracy in determining position and direction, as well as errors in spatial data used as platform, it was found that devices were not provided with sufficiently accurate data when using the situation aware services indoors compared to outdoors. To enhance accuracy of determining indoor positions, there are several methods including location metering based on Wi-Fi, which had several problems compared with GPS used in outdoor environment. Thus, it was determined that more study would be necessary to solve these issues.
