A Satellite -aided search and rescue system is expected for its many advantage of global coverage, instantaneousness and low cost. In this paper, a calculation method is proposed , by which a position of distress can be determined with doppler frequency received through an orbital satellite. First, an algorithm and program is developed for calculating the position of distress with the received doppler frequency of EPIRB(Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) with the least square method. Then, position error caused by the drift of the transmitting frequency is evaluated. The evaluation is made by the simulation using NNSS satellite orbital elements and varying position of EPIRB, numbers of Doppler data and magnitudes of various errors. As the result, the availability of this program for a satellite-aided search and rescue system is confirmed and the bounds of expected positioning accuracy is clarified.

최근 사용자의 위치 정보를 기반으로 응용서비스를 제공하는 위치 기반 서비스가 각광 받고 있다. 그 중 실내 위치 정보 수집을 위한 방법 중 하나로 비콘을 사용하고 있다. 비콘을 이용하여 실내공간에서 사용자의 위치를 계산하는 방법은 비콘과 단말기와의 거리를 측정하고, 측위 알고리즘을 적용하여 단말기의 위치를 계산하는 것이다. 하지만 비콘이 단말기와의 거리를 측정하는데 사용하는 RSSI는 주변 환경에 영향을 많이 받아 측정 시 오차가 발생한다. 따라서 정확한 실내 측위를 위해서는 불안정한 RSSI를 보정할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 RSSI의 오차 범위를 평균필터와 칼만필터, 그리고 신호의 정확도 개선 과정을 통해 보정하고 그 결과를 제시한다.

디지털화된 현실 환경을 증강현실속에서 투영시키기 위해선 증강현실 디바이스의 측위가 필수적이다. 하지만 대부분의 측위 방식이 측위 대상 디바이스에 대해 별도의 하드웨어나 센서를 요구하는데 이를 스마트폰 환경에서 충족시키기란 매우 힘든 일이다. 이에 본 논문은 스마트폰 환경에서 별도의 하드웨어를 요구하지 않는 딥러닝 영상기반 실내 측위 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 시스템은 측위를 위하여 설계된 피라미드형의 비콘을 활용하며 실시간에 가까운 피드백을 구현하기 위해 딥러닝 기법을 활용한 탐지를 진행한다. 본 논문에서는 상기한 두 개의 요소를 포함한 제안 시스템의 구성요소들을 설명하고 학습 방법과 비콘의 자세 측정 방법, 최종 측위 프로세스 등 전반적인 측위 프로세스를 설명한다.

A BIS(Bus Information System) collects, processes and analyzes information such as real-time location and operation status during bus operation. And It is a system that provides valid information to citizens, drivers, traffic centers and bus companies. Transport information system sent by an each bus is collected through GPS(Global Positioning System), DSRC(Dedicated Short Range Communications), Beacon and passed to transport information center. BIS data by collected is handled and analyzed. Next, it is transmitted to citizen, drivers and bus companies in real time. The result of 5 times simulation satisfied the test criteria(error range ${\pm}10m$) with an average error range of 3.306m, and the reliability is increased. In this paper, we propose a improved location transfer component that can provide users to quicker and more accurate location information than existing BIS using GPS of smart phone. It can be seen that reliability is improved by securing improved bus position data.

This paper investigated the design method of the smart sensor for implementing IoT (Internet of Things) service. The power supply of sensor consistently acquisting data is based on the energy harvesting technology and designed with piezoelectric transducer not affected by surrounding circumstances. The wireless communication interface for the transmission of data is designed with BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy). BLE is highly adequate wireless communication technology for low power consumption and short distance wireless communication. The main application of BLE is beacon whose usage range is extended from O2O (Online to Offline) service, navigator based on indoor positioning technology, and anti-theft/lost child prevention service to mobile game. This paper studied the method to extend wireless coverage for complementing the short wireless transmission distance of BLE. The wireless sensor network based on CATV network is proposed for the easy construction of BLE sensor network and extended wireless coverage.

Many traditional retailers are losing money due to loss and accidents in managing their carts. Therefore, we intend to solve these problems by installing a raspberry pie with various functions in order to efficiently manage the cart. First, use ultrasonic sensors to measure the distance between the cart and the object, use vibration sensors to vary the number of vibration sensors, change the number of vibrations to the user, and use Beacon to transmit the cart in real time. It also contributes to consumers' spending patterns and revenue generation by identifying consumers' consumption patterns. Problems with lost are also resolved by issuing an audible warning (outside of Mart) if a distance is removed (outside of Mart).

Ship ad-hoc network (SANET) extends the coverage of the maritime communication among ships with the reduced cost. To fulfill the growing demands of real-time services, the SANET requires an efficient clock time synchronization algorithm which has not been carefully investigated under the ad-hoc maritime environment. This is mainly because the conventional algorithms only suggest to decrease the beacon collision probability that diminishes the clock drift among the units. However, the SANET is a very large-scale network in terms of geographic scope, e.g., with 100 km coverage. The key factor to affect the synchronization performance is the signal propagation delay, which has not being carefully considered in the existing algorithms. Therefore, it requires a robust multi-hop synchronization algorithm to support the communication among hundreds of the ships under the maritime environment. The proposed algorithm has to face and overcome several challenges, i.e., physical clock, e.g., coordinated universal time (UTC)/global positioning system (GPS) unavailable due to the atrocious weather, network link stability, and large propagation delay in the SANET. In this paper, we propose a logical clock synchronization algorithm with multi-hop function for the SANET, namely multi-hop clock synchronization for SANET (MCSS). It works in an ad-hoc manner in case of no UTC/GPS being available, and the multi-hop function makes sure the link stability of the network. For the proposed MCSS, the synchronization time reference nodes (STRNs) are efficiently selected by considering the propagation delay, and the beacon collision can be decreased by the combination of adaptive timing synchronization procedure (ATSP) with the proposed STRN selection procedure. Based on the simulation results, we finalize the multi-hop frame structure of the SANET by considering the clock synchronization, where the physical layer parameters are contrived to meet the requirements of target applications.

Starting with maritime DGPS base stations of Palmido, Ochongdo which have been operated since 1999, truly our nation has become the most powerful country possessed with total of 17 DGNSS base stations in the field of DGNSS operation infrastructure. This paper examines into the country's DGNSS services as measuring the service range of the maritime DGPS base stations in the domestic ferry lines which sections are from Jeju to Incheon, from Busan to Jeju, from Jeju to Nokdong, the propagation characteristics of the radio waves of 300 kHz bands on sea and land path. As a result of identifying the service range of the DGPS in the sea routes of the southern sea and the western sea, the measured results of the DGPS signals are confirmed more than 100 NM(recommended service range). It can be possible to practical use the position information, which is safe navigation and various marine traffic management systems. It will be useful an expansion of maritime DGPS reference station in the near future.

In this paper, we propose a pre-processing scheme for improving indoor positioning accuracy in impulsive noise channel environments. The impulsive noise can be generated by multi-path fading effects by complicated indoor structures or interference environments, which causes an increase in demodulation error probability. The proposed pre-processing scheme is performed before a triangulation method to calculate user's position, and providing reliable input data demodulated from a received signal to the triangulation method. Therefore, we studied and proposed an adaptive threshold function for mitigation of the impulsive noise based on wavelet denoising. Through results of computer simulations for the proposed scheme, we confirmed that Bit Error Rate and Signal-to-Noise Ratio performance is improved compared to conventional schemes.
