In this paper, a platform was proposed that can service the streaming of location based real-time video-clip for smart-travel-services to work with PPL(Product Placement). The location information of drama like as LTE GPS and Beacon were used to provide the drama video with the PUSH service. And PPL DB with the attributes like as picture, video, music and URI(Uniform resource Identifier) was designed. As a result, this platform could provide the location based video streaming service that could replace the original PPL properties, color or shape, with the other properties by the interactive tagging the PPL DB in drama scenes. The proposed platform could provide the location based real-time video streaming service that can alter the PPL properties with the request of service provider.

COSPAS-SARSAT is the search and rescue system for providing a distress alarm and a position identification using an international satellite and ground facilities. Aviators, mariners and land users worldwide are equipped with COSPAS-SARSAT distress beacons, which could help save their in emergency situations anywhere in the world. As the existing COSPAS-SARSAT system is generally operated by LEO(Low-altitude Earth Orbit) Satellite System, the time from the distress beacon to the rescue is more than 1 hour with average and the accuracy of the distress location is about 5 Km. Therefore, in order to overcome this problem, the development for the next generation SAR(search and rescue) system which uses the MEO(middle-altitude Earth Orbit) satellites is going on the Galileo project. EU is developing this project for the full operation capability in 2011, and this project will have SAR payloads and support to the Search and Rescue service-herein called SAR/Galileo. SAR/Galileo will have the performance of a few meter accuracy, within 10 minutes to rescue from reception of distress messages, and Return Link Service(from the SAR operator to the distress emitting beacon), thereby facilitating more efficient rescue operations and helping to reduce the rate of false alerts. As the disaster is larger every year, the ground station, MEOLUT for next generation ASR/Galileo is urgently needed for the lifesaving for the larger disaster, the research for beacon and the ground station such as MEOLUT for introducing the next generation SAR/Galileo in Korea is very timely and is important. This paper presents the procedures and the strategies for the participation, the area to develop reasonably, and the propulsion organization for developing the SAR/Galileo ground system in Korea.

Priority MAC is an important issue in every communication system when we consider differentiated service applications. In this paper, we propose a mechanism to support priority MAC based on multi-parameters for IEEE 802.15.7 visible light communication (VLC). By using three parameters such as number of backoff times (NB), backoff exponent (BE) and contention window (CW), we provide priority for multi-level differentiated service applications. We consider beacon-enabled VLC personal area network (VPAN) mode with slotted version for random access algorithm in this paper. Based on a discrete-time Markov chain, we analyze the performance of proposed mechanism under non-saturation environments. By building a Markov chain model for multi-parameters, this paper presents the throughput and transmission delay time for VLC system. Numerical results show that we can apply three parameters to control the priority for VLC MAC protocol.

최근 통신기술의 발달로 사용자의 위치 정보에 기반한 다양한 위치기반서비스(Location Based Service)가 각광을 받고 있다. 위치기반서비스의 경우 대부분 GPS(Global Positioning System)정보를 사용하지만 실내에서는 위성정보를 받을 수 없어서 위치추적이 어려운 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 실내 공간에서 사용자의 위치를 추적하기 위해 비콘을 이용한 위치 찾기 서비스를 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 기존 비콘 통신 방법인 비콘을 고정시키고 고가의 수신기를 휴대해야 하는 단점을 보완하였다. 이를 위해 비콘과 수신기의 역할을 변경하여 수신기를 고정시키고 비콘에 이동성을 주어, 실내에서도 사용자들이 보다 저렴하고 효율적으로 사용할 수 있도록 구현하였다. 특히, 삼각측량법을 활용하여 보다 정확한 위치를 찾도록 구현하였다.

Local festivals form the regional cultures and atmosphere of communication; they increase the demand of domestic tourism businesses and thus, have an important role in ripple effects (e.g. regional image improvement, tourist influx, job creation, regional contents development, and local product sales) and economic revitalization. IoT (Internet of Thing) technologies have been developed especially, beacon-one of the IoT services has been applied as plenty of types and forms both domestically and internationally. However, notwithstanding expansion of current digital mobile technologies, it still remains as difficult for the individual to track the information about all the local festivals and to fulfill the tourists' needs of enjoying festivals given the weak strategic approaches and advertisement activities. Furthermore, current festival-related mobile applications don't function well as delivering information and have numerous contents issues (e.g. ways of information delivery within the festival places, independent application usage for each festival, one time usage due to one time event). This research, based on the background mentioned above, aims to develop the local festival mobile application and data analysis system applying beacon technology. First of all, three algorithms were developed, namely, 'festival crowding algorithm', 'visitor stats algorithm', and 'customized information algorithm', and then beta test was followed with the developed application and data analysis system. As a result, they could form the database of visitors' types and behaviors, and provide functions and services, such as personalized information, waiting time for festival contents, and 'hot place' function. Besides, in Google Play store, they also got the titles given with more than 13,000 downloads within first three months and as the most exposed application related with festivals; and, thus, got credited with their marketability and excellence. This research follows this order: chapter 2 shows the literature review of local festival related with technology development, beacon service, and festival application. In Chapter 3, design plans and conditions are described of developing local festival mobile application and data analysis system with beacon. Chapter 4 evaluates the results of the beta performance test to verify applicability of the developed application and data analysis system, and lastly, chapter 5 explains the conclusion and suggests the future research.

There are continuos tendencies toward that foreign tourists increase. Since 55% of them visit Korea without data communication for saving the communication costs, they can not utilize a variety of O2O services through QR/NFC/Beacon. There have been some researches to provide a smart map service based on the micro webpage technology even without data communication. But, they do not suggest how the templates are retrieved into their smart-phones. In this paper, we describe a mobile tourist information system for those who have no data communication. We utilize the micro webpage technology to develop a system for market promotion, shopping goods, and tourist maps. What matters in the micro webpage techniques is that the templates should be already downloaded to the users' smart phones before using it. The preceeded research did not mention the problem. We suggest a scheme that tourists obtain the tremplates in the information offices on the spot through Wi-Fi. We describe the details of the system, and evaluate the data overhead of templates and the time to be downloaded. We show that the overheads are endurable, which means that the system would be working well.

Currently, every person possesses a smart phone due to the development of the IT industry. However, crosswalk pedestrian accidents have been sharply increasing due to smart phone use. If a traffic light can recognize smart phones when a smart-phone user approaches and arrives at a given sign, many accidents could be reduced by using beacon signals. Before the era of smart phones, the accident rate involving cell phone use was relatively low. Nevertheless, when considering the development of IT equipment that produces a threat to human life, government cannot regulate smart phone use outside. The purpose of this paper is to indirectly warn a smart phone user in order to reduce the accident rates.

Facilities for pedestrian safety of the visually impaired are scarce on the walkway and crosswalk. Braille blocks are installed on the walkways and RF controlled signal lights and sound generators are installed on the crosswalk at the main intersection for the visually impaired. An RF remote control system using one frequency has a problem of simultaneously operating nearby signal lamps and sound generators at an intersection. In this paper, we develop the smart cane that uses a beacon to identify the signal lamp and sound generators installed on the crosswalk at intersections and to operate the signal lamps and sound generators in the direction of the walk by IR communication. The developed smart cane is able to provide the pedestrian navigation for the blind by interworking with mobile apps through Bluetooth communication.

According to the complete standard document for PHY/MAC layer of visible light communication through the IEEE 802.15.7 WG on Sept. 2011, visible light communication lays a good foundation for developing a variety of application services. Thus, visible light communication moves to the advanced research period for developing application services, but most of applications are limited only to PtP service model. However, PtMP communication environment for VLC is required to accommodate more various applications. In this paper, we analyze an effect of key parameters on network performance in the star topology based visible personal area network system. We implement a simulator with considering attributes of PHY and MAC layer which are defined by IEEE 802.15.7 standard documents, and analyze the VLC performance.
