COsmicheskaya Sisteyama Poiska Avariynich Sudov Search and Rescue Satellite-Aided Tracking (COSPAS-SARSAT) is an international communication support program to perform search and rescue (SAR) operations in emergency situations by using satellite signals relayed from a beacon. The legacy COSPAS-SARSAT was originally composed of low altitude and geostationary Earth orbit satellites; thus, a limited number of directional dish antennas was sufficient to cover the limited number of visible satellites at the local user terminal. However, the second generation COSPAS-SARSAT newly added the medium Earth orbit satellites, e.g., Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) to the existing system, so that the number of visible satellites increase dramatically, and the system upgrade to cover all the visible satellites is foreseen. The additional use of planned Korea Positioning System (KPS) to existing GNSS is envisaged to provide a better performance of their SAR service. This paper presents the benefits of the additional use of KPS together with the phased array antennas at the local user terminal of the COSPAS-SARSAT. This is to effectively response to the increase of the number of visible satellites. Numerical simulation is included to evaluate the performance improvement of COSPAS-SARSAT in terms of the number of visible satellites, geometry between satellites and user, and position estimation accuracy.

In order to efficiently collect data, it is essential to locate the facilities and analyze the movement data. The current technology for location collection can collect data using a GPS sensor, but GPS has a strong straightness and low diffraction and reflectance, making it difficult for indoor positioning. In the case of indoor positioning, the location is determined by using wireless network technologies such as Wifi, but there is a problem with low accuracy as the error range reaches 20 to 30 m. In this paper, using BLE 4.2 built in Raspberry Pi, we implement Bluetooth Smart Ready. In detail, a beacon was produced for Advertise, and an experiment was conducted to support the serial port for data transmission/reception. In addition, advertise mode and connection mode were implemented at the same time, and a 3-count gradual algorithm and a quadrangular positioning algorithm were implemented for Bluetooth RSSI error correction. As a result of the experiment, the average error was improved compared to the first correction, and the error rate was also improved compared to before the correction, confirming that the error rate for position measurement was significantly improved.

WPS는 무선 AP의 정보를 통해 현재 이동 객체의 위치를 찾는 시스템이다. 실외 및 실내의 AP 신호 세기 특징을 활용하여 현재 위치를 판단하며 이를 위해 AP 정보를 저장하기 위한 Radio Map구축이 선행되어야 한다. 최초 서비스를 위하여 map을 구성하더라도 실외의 경우 AP신호의 가변성에 의해 구축된 DB의 map 정보를 완전히 신뢰할 수 없다. 따라서 WPS의 정확도를 올리기 위한 다양한 알고리즘이 필요하다. 본 논문은 이동객체의 현재 위치를 판단하기 위해 다양한 방법을 적용하여 측위 정확도를 높이기 위한 시스템에 대하여 제안한다.

해양수산발전 기본법 제 15조(해양안전관리 등)에 의거 해양안전 및 해양교통시설의 하나인 위성항법 보정서비스(DGPS) 전국망 구축에 따라 국가 인프라 활용도를 극대화하고 대국민 편익 개선을 위해 원천기술개발이 꾸준히 제기 되고 있다. 특히 해양용 중파수신기 공급제품 유형을 살펴보면 국제해사기구(IMO) 권고에 만족하는 성능 제품 대부분 안테나와 수신기가 분리되는 구조 공급되고 있고 일부 통합모델의 경우 매우 고가모델로 해양용 수신기 보다는 휴대가 쉬운(Portable) 측위용으로 일부 활용되고 있어 저렴한 통합모델 개발이 요구되고 있다. 현재 해양용 위성항법 보정정보 수신기 중 GPS모듈, 중파모듈 각각은 저가 개발이 가능하나 독립적 운용 환경에서 통합모델 개발 이루어지지 않아 어떠한 문제가 있는지 살펴보고, 285kHz~315kHz 중파(medium wave or Beacon)를 이용한 DGPS Beacon 수신기 구조에서 중파안테나와 GPS수신기가 중파대역 폭당 신호대 잡음비(SNR: Signal to Noise Ratio)가 GPS 수신기에 미치는 영향에 대해 중점 연구하였다. 본 연구는 중파와 GPS 통합과정에서 중파안테나 및 수신부와 GPS안테나와 수신부가 어떤 영향을 미치고 GPS 신호감쇄가 DGPS 성능에 미치는 특성을 GPS 제조사별로 살펴보았고 중파 정규화 신호대 잡음비가 GPS제조사별 미치는 영향과 중파신호 영향에 대해 GPS 대역 폭당 잡음 전력비 성능개선을 위한 제안을 하였다.

DGPS/Radio beacons are currently being planned or installed in many countries. They offer a cost-effective way of distributing differential data to large number of users. These networks are also being deployed in South Korea, Japan, and China. Several DGPS stations among them are operating on the same frequencies. The DGPS signal based on a radio beacon in medium frequency band travels principally as a groundwave over the surface of the earth. The signal may also be received as skywaves at locations beyond about 100 km from the reference station. These skywaves interfere with groundwave signals due to fading. This factor has generally ignored in designing DGPS/Radio beacon systems. A further important factor is to reduce the coverage due to interference from other beacons on the same or adjacent frequencies. The desired signal may fade due to interaction between its skywave and groundwave components. It may degrade the accuracy of the positioning in a complex fashion. This paper estimates the coverage of Far East Asia DGPS stations which are operating on the same frequencies, which is based on the signal protection ratio and interference of the signal strength of the groundwave and skywave.

The urban stream includes the channel and sandbars. The sandbar plays a key role in the riparian ecosystem. For birds and insects the sandbar offers a small strip of habitat and fish and other fauna feed in the boundary of sandbar where eddies occur. So, it is important habitat and source for the flow of energy, matter and organisms through the landscape and act as ecotone between the terrestrial and stream corridors. However, the sandbar changes continuously by the natural process. Thus, it is necessary to measure the shape and area of the sandbar accurately for the efficient urban stream management for the amenity of urban residents and stream protection. The study site is Yangjae Stream where the first natural-style urban stream restoration projected was impelemented by the support of Ministry of Education in Korea. The measurement was taken by the beacon Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) and the data were stored and analyzed using ArcView Geographic Information System (GIS) program. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to measure the change of sandbars in the urban stream after concentrated stormwater during summer.

선조의 유골 매장지와 함께 고구려 왕조($37BC{\sim}771AD$)의 산성과 이조 왕조($1392{\sim}1910AD$) 때의 봉화대와 같이 중국 동북부 지역 만주와 한반도에 산재한 유적지들의 소재지들을 확인하기 위해 위성영상을 적용했다. 이러한 유적지에 관한 정보는 여러 문헌들에서 접하게 되지만 이들 문화제의 실체들은 최근의 지역 개발 프로그램들에 의해 점차 사라지고 있는 실정이다. 이번에 답사하면서 측정한 위성위치정보(GPS) 자료를 사용하여 위성영상에서 일부 역사 유적지들의 위치를 확인해 보았다. 이들의 상세한 위치 정보는 좀 더 확인이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

This paper focuses on modeling and predicting differential GPS corrections transmitted by marine radio-beacon systems using artificial neural networks. Various neural network structures with various training algorithms were examined, including Linear, Radial Biases, and Feedforward. Matlab Neural Network toolbox is used for this purpose. Data sets used in building the model are the transmitted pseudorange corrections and broadcast navigation message. Model design is passed through several stages, namely data collection, preprocessing, model building, and finally model validation. It is found that feedforward neural network with automated regularization is the most suitable for our data. In training the neural network, different approaches are used to take advantage of the pseudorange corrections history while taking into account the required time for prediction and storage limitations. Three data structures are considered in training the neural network, namely all round, compound, and average. Of the various data structures examined, it is found that the average data structure is the most suitable. It is shown that the developed model is capable of predicting the differential correction with an accuracy level comparable to that of beacon-transmitted real-time DGPS correction.

According to the recommendation of International Maritime Organization, the Ministry Of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (MOMAF) of Korea provides the real time Differential Global Positioning System service using maritime radio beacon from 1999. Due to the benefit of DGPS service, the need of this system is increased from various user groups for acquiring the better accuracy and integrity. Therefore, MOMAF has extended their service to inland by installing the additional 6 DGPS stations. This nationwide DGPS service will be fully deployed at 2007. In addition to the extension of service area, MOMAF has a plan to upgrade their nationwide DGPS to High Accuracy Nationwide DGPS (HANDGPS). The planned HANDGPS service of Korea will be a kind of long range RTK or Wide Area RTK techniques to provide under 1m accuracy and start their service from 2009 using the various broadcasting and communication media like as radio beacon, Wibro, Digital Multimedia Broadcasting, High Speed Packet Data Access. The introduction of nationwide DGPS system of Korea and its evolution plan will be addressed in this paper. The research activities related with HANDGPS in Korea is also presented.
