RTLS(Real-Time location system) for Location tracking of personnel and equipment of a construction site is now in development, among these techniques the wireless LAN-based techniques are being considered. To introduce these techniques to the construction site, the 3-dimensional visibility analysis prior to the installation location of AP must be simulated. At this time, three-dimensional visibility analysis considering the propagation distance of RTLS signal of AP(Access Point) should be performed. In this research, two processing methods LOS boundary are tested to various grid size of gridded terrestrial LiDAR data, and the results were compared. In evaluations of visible area, the Scanline Fill-Method shows approximately 7.4% more visible area than the Shadow Clipping-Method, but the Shadow Clipping-Method shows stable results for the grid size. About the processing time, the Scanline Fill-Method is about 2 times faster compared to the Shadow Clipping-Method.

OFDM Wi-Fi AP is susceptible to the co-channel interference. As a countermeasure, the insertion of a smart has been addressed. Despite of the guaranteed efficiency, the complexity of the post-FFT algorithm often keeps itself from being selected as the countermeasure. Instead, simply constructed pre-FFT smart antenna of which the algorithm is based on the received signal covariance matrix is commonly used and the mathematical modeling of it has been deployed. Computer simulations evaluating the improved BER characteristics of the proposed pre-FFT using the covariance matrix of channel estimator output have been carried out. It has been demonstrated that channel matrix output based smart antenna is superior to that using received signal covariance matrix.

In HIPERLAN/2, the radio channels are assigned by AP(Access Point) that is centrally operated and the MAC protocol is based on TDMA/TDD. Mobile terminal that data transmission is necessary to uplink requests radio resource to AP through RCH channel. The changing number of RCHs in each MAC frame is important because too many RCHs may result in a waste of radio resources and too few RCHs may result in many access collisions and prolong time that connect to AP. Hence the number of RCH should be allocated properly according to traffic. From these point, this paper proposes an scheme that dynamically assigned the number of RCH which is based on the number of success and collision of message in previous MAC frame. To prove efficiency of proposed scheme, lots of simulations are conducted and analyzed.

This paper deals with the problem of unfairness among uplink TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) flows associated with frame aggregation employed in IEEE 802.11n WLANs (Wireless Local Area Networks). When multiple stations have uplink TCP flows and transmit TCP data packets to an AP (Access Point), the AP has to compete for channel access with stations for the transmission of TCP ACK (acknowledgement) packets to the stations. Due to this contention-based channel access, TCP ACKs tend to be accumulated in the AP's downlink buffer. We show that the frame aggregation in the MAC (Medium Access Control) layer increases TCP ACK losses in the AP and leads to the serious unfair operation of TCP congestion control. To resolve this problem, we propose the TAC (TCP ACK Compression) mechanism operating at the top of the AP's interface queue. By exploiting the properties of cumulative TCP ACK and frame aggregation, TAC serves only the representative TCP ACK without serving redundant TCP ACKs. Therefore, TAC reduces queue occupancy and prevents ACK losses due to buffer overflow, which significantly contributes to fairness among uplink TCP flows. Also, TAC enhances the channel efficiency by not transmitting unnecessary TCP ACKs. The simulation results show that TAC tightly assures fairness under various network conditions while increasing the aggregate throughput, compared to the existing schemes.

On the IoT-based sensor networks, users or sensor nodes must perform a Service Discovery (SD) procedure before access to the wanted service. Current approach uses a center-concentrated Resource Directory (RD) servers or P2P technique, but these can cause a point-of-failure or flooding of SD messages. In this paper, we proposes an improved SWoT SD approach for CoAP-based sensor networks, which integrates Social Web of Things (SWoT) concept to current CoAP-based SD approach that makes up for weak points of existing systems. This new approach can perform a function like a keyword or location-based search originated from SNS, which can enhances the usability. Finally, we implemented a real system to evaluate.

As required performance of UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) becomes more complex and complicated, required positioning accuracy is becoming more and more higher. GPS is a reliable world wide positioning providing system. Therefore, UAV generally acquires position information from GPS. But when GPS is not available such as too weak signal or too less GPS satellites environments, UAV needs alternative positioning system such as network positioning system. RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) based positioning, which is one method of network positioning technologies, determines its position using RSSI measurements containing distance information from AP (Access Point)s. In that method, a selected AP's configuration has strong and tight relationship with its positioning errors. In this paper, for, we additionally account AP's configuration information by adopting DOP (Dilution of Precision) into AP selection procedures and provide more accurate RSSI based positioning results.

In this paper, we analyze the effect of access point (AP) deployment on the accuracy of indoor localization. Two representative geometrical arrangements of AP deployment are selected. One is that a Tag is centered at the regular triangle composed of 3 AP's, and the other is that a Tag is set apart from the straight line composed of 3 AP's. As a result of simulation, the first case has a probability of 93% with distance errors within 1m, while the second case has a 32% of probability.

Wi-Fi 는 스마트 네트워크 환경 구현을 위한 기반 분야로 다양한 분야 및 서비스에 활용되고 있다. Wi-Fi 는 AP (Access Point)를 통해 보다 넓은 범위의 네트워크를 가능하게 하며, 여러 무선 단말기와 통신을 한다. 또한 Wi-Fi 는 DCF(Distributed Coordinate Function) 프로토콜을 이용하여 AP 를 포함한 모든 무선 단말기에게 공평하게 채널을 할당한다. 그러나 AP 는 채널을 요청하는 하위 단말기에 대해 도착한 순서에 따라 채널을 할당하는 FIFS(First In First Service) 스케줄링을 사용하여 데이터를 처리함으로써 데이터 전송 신뢰도를 저하시키고, 전송 지연이 발생하여 응급 데이터 전송에 적합하지 않다. 이에 본 논문에서는 응급 데이터 전송을 위한 우선순위 기반 AP 채널 할당 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 전송하려는 데이터에 우선순위를 부여하여 응급 데이터의 채널 요청 처리율을 높이고 채널 할당 지연시간을 감소시켜 응급 데이터 전송 신뢰도를 향상시킨다.

In this paper, a distributed evacuation system based on the positioning information of subway passengers is proposed. Recently, the subway station is becoming complicated by combining with shopping malls, and movie theaters. Compared to the increasing complexity of subway stations, evacuation systems are less complex. Subway passengers in each cell were estimated to use the access point in the subway cells and statistics information. The evacuation route is provided through a direction indicator and push alarm of a smart phone based on estimated the number of passengers and exit information of the subway station. Based on this schemes, a quick and safe evacuation system of subway passengers was proposed. The number of connection passengers was estimated using AP with OpenWrt embedded OS installed. The average error rate of the number of passenger was confirmed to be 15%, 17% and 23% at the confidence parameter of $1{\sigma}$, $2{\sigma}$, and $3{\sigma}$, respectively, through a simulation. The possibility of the system through a simple experiment was examined.
