본 논문에서는 실내 위치 인식을 고려한 RFID 기반 셀 구성 방안을 제안하였다. RFID 셀 구성을 위한 4개의 목적함수 설계 및 시뮬레이션 기반 성능 평가뿐만 아니라 RFID 리더를 실내 공간에 실제 배치하여 제안한 기법의 성능평가를 수행하였다. 성능 평가는 RFID 셀 구성에 필요한 최소 RFID 리더 수, 위치 인식이 가능한 최대 셀 영역, 셀 영역 간의 최소 중첩, 그리고 셀 영역의 최대 위치 인식 정확도 측면에서 수행되었다.

Indoor location system using wireless sensor network technology was applied for the status evaluation and activity monitoring of elderly person or chronic invalid at home. Location awareness application is transparent to the daily activities, while providing the embedded computing infrastructure with an awareness of what is happening in this space. To locate an object, the active ceiling-mounted reference beacons were placed throughout the building. Reference beacons periodically publish location information on RF and ultrasonic signals to allow application running on mobile or static nodes to study and determine their physical location. Once object-carried passive listener receives the information, it subsequently determines it's location from reference beacons. By using only the sensor nodes without any external network infrastructure the cost of the system was reduced while the accuracy in our experiments. was fairly good and fine grained between 7 and 15 cm for location awareness in indoor environments. Passive architecture used here provides the security of the user privacy while at the server the privacy was secured by providing the authentication using Geopriv approach. This information from sensor nodes is further forwarded to base station where further computation is performed to determine the current position of object and several applications are enabled for context awareness.

Recently, RFID/USN is one of fundamental technologies in information and communications networks. Low-Rate WPAN, IEEE802.15.4 is a low-cost communication network that allows wireless connectivity in applications with limited Power and relaxed throughput requirements. Its applications are building automation, personal healthcare, industrial control, consumer electronics, and so on. Some applications require location information. Of course location awareness is useful to improve usability of data Low-Rate WPAN Is regarded as a key specification of the sensor network with the characteristics of wireless communication, computing, energy scavenging, self-networking, and etc. Unfortunately ZigBee alliance propose a lot of applications based on location aware technologies, but the specification and low-rate WPAN devices don't support anything about location-based services. RSSI ( Received Signal Strength indication) is for energy detection to associate, channel selection, and etc. RSSI is used to find the location of a potable device in WLAN. In this paper we studied indoor location awareness using vector matching of RSSI in low-Rate wireless PAN. We analyzed the characteristics of RSSI according to distance and experimented location awareness. We implemented sensor nodes with different shapes and configured the sensor network for the location awareness with 4 fixed nodes and a mobile node. We try to contribute developing location awareness method using RSSI in 3-dimension space.

본 논문에서는 실내 환경에서 위치 인식을 고려한 AP 배치 기법을 제안하고 성능평가를 수행하였다. 제안한 기법은 위치 인식율과 AP 기반 무선 네트워크의 성능 및 비용을 고려하여 근사 최적 AP 구성 형태를 생성하는 메타휴리스틱 알고리즘과 AP 배치 과정을 빠르게 수렴하게 하는 결정론적 알고리즘으로 구성된다. 실내 공간과 유사한 시뮬레이션 환경을 구축하여 제안한 AP 배치 기법의 성능 평가를 수행하였으며, 제안한 기법은 빠른 시간 내에 우수한 결과를 생성하였다.

In this paper, we outline the research issues that we are pursuing towards building of location aware environments for mainly ubiquitous healthcare applications. Such location aware application can provide what is happening in this space. To locate an object, such as patient or elderly person, the active ceiling-mounted reference beacons were placed throughout the building. Reference beacons periodically publish location information on RF and ultrasonic signals to allow application running on mobile or static nodes to study and determine their physical location. Once object-carried passive listener receives the information, it subsequently determines it's location from reference beacons. The cost of the system was reduced while the accuracy in our experiments was fairly good and fine grained between 7 and 12 cm for location awareness in indoor environments by using only the sensor nodes and wireless sensor network technology. Passive architecture used here provides the security of the user privacy while at the server the privacy was secured by providing the authentication using Geopriv approach. This information from sensor nodes is further forwarded to base station where further computation is performed to determine the current position of object.

유비쿼터스와 퍼베이시브 환경에서의 위치인지 기술은 자동차 내비게이션, 지능형 로봇, 대화형 가상 게임, 물류 서비스, 그리고 자산 추적 등 다양한 응용 기회를 제공해 주고 있다. 더욱이 위치 인식 정보뿐 아니라 객체 혹은 센서 노드 주변의 상황 정보까지도 전달하여 제한된 공간에서의 다양한 응용에 활용될 것으로 보인다. 그러나 위치 측정에 있어 환경적 요소와 측정 매체 등에 의해 간섭이라는 문제점을 갖는다. 특히 실내 좁은 공간에서 비컨 신호간의 간섭은 거리 측정의 심각한 오류뿐 아니라 더 나아가 위치 인식 시스템 전체 성능에도 영향을 미치게 된다. 이러한 간섭 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 비컨의 초음파 및 RF 신호 세기를 각 노드 별로 차별화하는 방식인 EEM을 제안한다.

We propose ID-exchange protocol for Connectionless Location-Awareness Service (CLAS) to locate mobile nodes in indoor sensor network. When adapting location-awareness service to sensor network, the target system must be designed in accordance with various metrics which reflect the system requirement. We especially consider sustainability of the existing service which has been provided for its original purpose, such as environmental monitoring. The detailed meaning of sustainability here is that, even if location-awareness service is newly added to the existing service, the system must be assured to retain a stable network condition, and to deal with newly caused traffic properly. The CLAS ID-exchange protocol is especially designed for fixture and mobile nodes communication to achieve these properties. The protocol operates on 802.15.4 MAC layer to make mobile node work independently of the procedure to build routing table of fixture node, so a stable routing condition can be achieved even if there are many mobile nodes. Moreover, the dedicated frequency channel is assigned only for this protocol, so that traffic caused by location-awareness service can be distributed to another channel. A real system adapting the protocol was implemented to monitor fire and authorities' positions. We verified the overhead and elapsed time for location-awareness. The result shows the proposed protocol has a high performance in detecting speed, traffic distribution, and stability of overall network.
