  • The huge success of location-aware applications has called for the rapid development of an alternative positioning system to the global positioning system (GPS) for indoor localization based on existing technologies, such as 802.11 wireless networks. This paper proposes the Wireless MAC Processor Positioning System (WMPS), which is a localization system running on off-the-shelf 802.11 Access Points and based on the time-of-flight ranging of users' standard terminals. This paper proves through extensive experiments that the propagation delays can be measured with the accuracy required by indoor applications despite the different noise components that can affect the result: latencies of the hardware transreceivers, multipath, ACK jitters and timer quantization. Key to this solution is the choice of the Wireless MAC Processor architecture, which enables a straightforward implementation of the ranging subsystem directly inside the commercial cards without affecting the basic DCF channel access algorithm. In addition to the proposed measurement framework, this study developed a simple and effective localization algorithm that can work without requiring any preliminary calibration or device characterization. Finally, the architecture allows the measurement methodology to be adjusted as a function of the network load or propagation environments at the run time, without requiring any firmware update.

  • Until now ship communication micro serial network communication method is designed for the communication between the controller and the RS-422 communication on the international standard ISO 1993, but gradually progresses NMEA 2000 standardized fast Ethernet-based communications environments expected to be replaced. In addition, the ship's main instrumentation equipment versatility with ease gradually to control devices by monitoring and controlling are. Wind anemometer, ship mast end, where the highest wind farms typically install a separate console boxes, data loggers, indicators was required in order to manage them, to maintain them, to go through the procedures and cumbersome data update firmware were Therefore, in this paper, using the PC network, ultrasonic wind speed data processing system for implementing functional was expressed as a function of the technology elements, NMEA 2000 standard certified in separate operating console without the features of the data loggers, indicators, implementation by ultrasonic wind data processing system was implemented to minimize the maintenance cost of the operating system.

  • Utilizing smart phones based on android applications in the field of FA(Factory Automation) or PA(Production Automation) is being deployed actively. In general, MDM(Mobile Device Management) is a crucial infra-structure to build such a FA or PA environment. In this paper, we suggest an open mobile device management platform and implement its prototype. The developed prototype consists of three modules such as DMS(Device Management Server), FUMO(Firmware Update Management Object) and SCOMO(Software Component Management Object). In addition, we suggest a security module based on the concept of the EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) and the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). The suggested security module's prototype is applied to guarantee the data integrity in the process of communicating among DMS, FUMO and SCOMO for the purpose of utilizing smart phones based on android applications in a FA field. We also evaluate the performance of the implemented security prototype. According to our simulation results, the implemented prototype has a good performance in a FA environment and can be utilized in the other FA, PA or OA(Office Automation) environment with guaranteeing the security.
