실내에서 작업자의 위치 정보를 취득하면 사용자의 이동 경로 파악이나 물체의 지역화 및 상황인지 서비스가 가능하다. 최근, BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy) 비콘을 사용하여 작업자의 실내 위치를 파악할 수 있는 여러 가지 연구가 진행되고 있으나 BLE 비콘의 신호세기 강도와 RSSI(Received signal strength indication)의 정확도에 대한 에러율 증가로 인해 실내 작업자 위치 파악 연구에 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 BLE 비콘에서 취득한 RSSI 정보에 대해 PCA, ICA, SVM의 패턴인식 알고리즘을 적용하여 인식정확도를 구하고, 여러 패턴인식 알고리즘 중에서 어떤 알고리즘이 인식정확도 측면에서 적용이 가능한지 제시하였다.

Recently it has drawn much attention on the technologies about Internet of Things (IoT) which connects objects with constrained resource and heterogenous communication module in order to communicate information via internet. We propose a real-time sensor monitoring system based on IPv6 over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), which is included in Bluetooth 4.2 Specification. Since this system uses a publish-subsribe based IoT protocol, so called Message Queueing Telemetry Transport (MQTT), neither transforming network data nor any proxy server is needed in order to transmit data. Through the web client connected to this system, you can monitor sensor data sent by BLE device in real-time, intermediated via MQTT broker and then delivered to the client via HTTP and websocket protocol. In this paper we evaluated network capacity and availability of the implemented test platform. Thus by using this system it is possible to make development cost low and to construct IoT network with heterogenous devices easily.

In this paper, we propose an electronic attendance management system using the bluetooth function of the beacon and BLE advertising function of the smart phone. In the beacon-only bluetooth attendance confirmation system, it is needed more than one beacons according to the class room sizes. A BLE advertising function based attendance confirmation system can not provide the information about the location of the attendances. In the proposed system, we can identify the location of the instructor using the beacon of the class room, and confirm the attendances by checking the position of the attendances's smart phone. In this system, we can achieves the goals of electronic attendance management system using only one beacon per a class room.

사물인터넷은 최근 몇 년간 급격한 발전을 이루었으며 발전을 바탕으로 삶의 질 향상과 상업적인 가치가 큰 스마트 환경을 구축하였다. 스마트 환경 구축을 위해서는 각각 사물들이 사용하는 통신 프로토콜 간 통신이 되어야 한다. 그러나 통신 프로토콜 간 서로 다른 통신 규약을 가지기 때문에 통신이 안 되는 이질성 문제가 있으며 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 DDS(Data Distribution Service) 기반의 어댑터(Adaptor)가 필요하다. 본 논문은 최근 각광받고 있는 BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy)를 사물 인터넷에 적용하기 위해 DDS 기반의 BLE 어댑터를 제안한다. 이러한 BLE 어댑터를 통하여 BLE와 RFID(Radio-Frequency Identification), LTE(Long-Term Evolution), 그리고 지그비(ZigBee) 등 다른 통신 프로토콜 간 이질성 문제를 해결함으로써 서로 다른 데이터를 활용할 수 있다.

As the demand for indoor location recognition system has been rapidly increased in accordance with the increasing use of smart devices and the increasing use of augmented reality, indoor positioning systems(IPS) using BLE (Bluetooth Lower Energy) beacons and UWB (Ultra Wide Band) have been developed. In this paper, a positioning plate is generated by using trilateration technique based on BLE Beacon and using RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator). The resultant value is used to calculate the PDR-based coordinates using the positioning element of the Inertial Measurement Unit sensor, We propose a precise indoor positioning algorithm that combines RSSI and PDR technique. Based on the plate algorithm proposed in this paper, the experiment have done at large scale indoor sports arena and airport, and the results were successfully verified by 65% accuracy improvement with average 2.2m error.

The recent rapid growth of the IoT(Internet of Things) is leading to the spread of low-power wireless technology. A major challenge in designing IoT wireless networks is to achieve coexistence between different wireless technologies that share the 2.4 [GHz] ISM (Industrial Scientific Medical) frequency band. Therefore, there is a need for research on improving the reliability of wireless networks and coexisting operation between wireless networks. In particular, it is necessary to study an interference model and performance for mutual service coexistence in a BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) wireless network environment, which is expected to be widely used as a connection medium between devices in various industrial fields. In this paper, the co-channel interference model with the IEEE 802.15.4 system is established focusing on the physical layer of the BLE system widely used in residential and industrial wireless applications, and the performance of the BLE wireless communication system is analyzed in the co-channel interference environment. As a result of the analysis, as the distance between the interference source and the BLE system increases in an environment where noise and co-channel interference exist, the amount of co-channel interference decreases and the error rate performance of the BLE system improves.

Machine to Machine (M2M) technology has gained attention due to the fast diffusion of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and smart devices. Most wireless network experts believe that Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Communications technology in an iBeacon network has amazing advantages in terms of providing communication services at a low cost in smartphone applications. Specifically, BLE does not require any pairing process during its communication phases, so it is possible to send a message to any node without incurring additional transmissions costs if they are within the BLE communication range. However, BLE does not require any security verification during communication, so it has weak security. Therefore, a security authorization process would be necessary to obtain customer confidence. To provide security functions for iBeacon, we think that the iBeacon Message Encryption process and a Decryption (Authorization) process should be designed and implemented. We therefore propose the BLE message Authorization Mechanism based on a One Time Password Algorithm (BLE-OTP). The effectiveness of our mechanism is evaluated by conducting a performance test on an attendance system based on BLE-OTP.

In this paper, we propose electronic attendance checking system using a bluetooth beacon in the absence of Wi-Fi or cellular networks. The proposed electronic attendance checking system uses a polling scheme where the administrator sends a request message and the attendees response using a beacon packet. Existing electronic attendance checking system requires a centralized server but the proposed method can check attendance without any external networks.

기존의 자산관리 시스템으로 대규모 자산을 관리함에 있어 효율적인 RFID나 바코드 등을 이용한 방식들이 있으나 설치과정과 시스템 구성이 복잡하고 비용이 비싸 대중적으로 이용되지 못하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Bluetooth Low Energy(BLE) 비콘을 이용하여 일상적으로 사용하는 모바일 단말과 웹 등을 이용하여 자산을 관리할 수 있는 경제적인 자산관리 시스템을 제안한다. 나아가, BLE 비콘의 신호 세기에 따른 측정 가능 거리를 분석하여 비콘의 활용에 대한 구체적인 수치를 제시하였고 경제적 측면에서 기존 시스템과 차별화하였음을 보였다.

OSC(Off-Site Construction) is regarded as a faster and more economical method in the construction industry, and the attention towards the OSC is growing. In the modular construction process, which is one type of OSC, accurate identification of a module is essential. Because the installation position and the MEP(Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) composition are distinct between modules, a defect in the finishing or junction area is likely to happen during the construction process. This study suggested the modular construction process by applying a beacon receiver using BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy) technology on each module. Construction quality management would be improved using the location and assembly data, particularly for a different module in modular construction.
