Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) error is the most common and also a major source of errors in wireless location system. A novel weighting factor (NWF) method is presented in this paper, based on the RSS(Received Signal Strength) measurements, path loss model and Circular Disk of Scatterers Model (CDSM). The proposed positioning method effectively weighted the TOA distance measurements for each Base Station (BS). Simulation results show that the proposed method efficiently weighted the distance measurements and achieve higher localization accuracy than that of Linear Line of Position (LLOP) and Believable Factor Algorithm (BFA).

Since the global positioning system (GPS) has been included in mobile devices (e.g., for car navigation, in smartphones, and in smart watches), the impact of personal GPS log data on daily life has been unprecedented. For example, such log data have been used to solve public problems, such as mass transit traffic patterns, finding optimum travelers' routes, and determining prospective business zones. However, a real-time analysis technique for GPS log data has been unattainable due to theoretical limitations. We introduced a machine learning model in order to resolve the limitation. In this paper presents a new, three-stage real-time prediction model for a person's daily route activity. In the first stage, a machine learning-based clustering algorithm is adopted for place detection. The training data set was a personal GPS tracking history. In the second stage, prediction of a new person's transient mode is studied. In the third stage, to represent the person's activity on those daily routes, inference rules are applied.

본 논문에서는 노드의 속성정보를 통해 노드의 움직임을 예측하는 PPoP(The Path Prediction algorithm based on Probability) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존 이동 예측 알고리즘들은 GPS(Global Positioning System)를 사용해 노드의 이동을 학습을 통해 패턴화 하여 예측한다. 이때, 노드들이 이동 패턴을 벗어날 경우 예측률이 떨어진다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 스테른 게를라흐의 실험(Stern-Gerlach experiment)을 분석하여 노드의 이동성을 예측하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안된 알고리즘에서는 노드의 이동 경로를 staore-carry-forward 방식으로 상황 인지에 의한 경로 설정 변경 예측 방법으로 이동 예측 확률 기법이다. 모의실험 결과 제안한 방법을 사용하여 노드의 이동성 및 패턴을 벗어난 상황에서도 노드의 예측 하고자 한다.

본 논문은 지도정보를 이용하여 옥내측위 결과를 보정하는 방법을 제안한다. 다양한 옥내측위 관련 연구 결과가 소개되었으나, 지금까지 발표되고 진행되는 연구는 측위의 정확도를 제고하는 방안에 중점을 두고 있다. 그러나 정확도를 아무리 제고하여도 오차를 완전히 제거하기는 불가능하다. 따라서 본 연구는 지도정보를 이용하여 옥내측위 결과를 보정하는 방법을 제안하는 것이다. GPS로 예측한 자동차 궤적을 보정하는 방법으로 map-matching 방법이 널리 연구되었다. 제안하는 방법은 두 선분이 교차하는지 검사하는 함수를 이용하여, 이동단말기가 장애물을 통과하여 움직이는 상황을 나타내는 측위 결과를 실시간으로 즉시 보정한다는 점에서 map-matching 방법과 다르다. 제안하는 실시간 보정 방법은 기존의 map-matching 방법과 함께 측위의 정확도를 제고하기 위하여 사용될 수 있다.

Even though GNSS provides highly accurate navigation information all over the world, it is vulnerable to jamming in the electronic warfare due to its weak signal power. The United States and Korea have plans to use terrestrial navigation systems as back-up systems during outage of GNSS. In order to develop back-up systems of GNSS, an M&S software platform is necessary for performance evaluation of various vehicle trajectories and integrated navigation systems. In this paper a design method of an M&S software is proposed for evaluation of multiple radio positioning integration systems. The proposed M&S software consists of a navigation environment generation part, a navigation algorithm part, a GUI part and a coverage analysis part. Effectiveness of the proposed design method is shown by implementing an M&S software for the GPS, DME and eLoran navigation systems.

A GPS based wave height meter system is proposed in this paper. The proposed system uses a dual-frequency measurements, a precise GPS satellite information and a PPP-based navigation algorithm to estimate the position with high accuracy. This method does not need to receive corrections from the reference stations. Therefore, unlike RTK based wave meter, regardless of the distance to the reference stations, it is possible to estimate position with high accuracy. This system is very simple and accurate system, but accelerometer-based system requires the other sensors such as GPS. Because position error is accumulated in the accelerometer system and must be removed periodically for high accuracy. In order to get the measurements and test the proposed wave height meter system, a buoy equipped with the test platform is installed on the sea near by Jukbyeon habor in Uljin, Korea. Then, to evaluate the performance, compares built-in commercial wave height meter with proposed system.

GPS (global positioning system) is a popular system that provides location information by measuring arrival time difference at the receiver between several GPS satellite signals. GPS is widely used in commercial area as well as military systems. Reliable GPS signal reception is more important in the military applications such as guided missiles. However, since the carrier frequencies of the GPS signals are well known and the received power is extremely low, the GPS systems are vulnerable to intentional jamming attacks. To remove jammers while maintaining GPS signals at the received signals, a popular technique is an adaptive beam steering method based on array antenna. Among adaptive beam steering techniques, this paper considers MVDR (minimum variance distortionless response) algorithm, and proposes a new adaptive technique that preserves the received signals at desired directions, but removes the unknown jamming signals adaptively. The performance of the proposed method is verified through computer simulation.

Bilateration using two fixed nodes has been used in the field of the real time indoor location system in the narrow space such as building or ship passage. However, as the distance between the fixed nodes increases or any obstructions exist in their zone, it is difficult to detect the location of mobile node(user) due to the degradation of its reception ratio. In order to compensate for these problems, this paper presents, based on IEEE 802.15.4a chirp signal, a new real time indoor location system using stride measurement algorithm which can calculate the location through sensors attached to user. The proposed system consists of an ultrasonic sensor to measure the leg length, a geomagnetic sensor to recognize the user's orientation, and an inertial sensor to obtain the angle between the legs. The experimental results are shown that the proposed system has twice or more accurate output compared with conventional indoor location method in the section which is partially out of communication reachability.

There are several ways such as GPS(Global Positioning System) and INS (Inertial Navigation System) to track the location of moving vehicle. The GPS has the advantages of having non-accumulative error even if it brings about errors. In order to obtain the position information, we need to receive at least 3 satellites information. But, the weak point is that GPS is not useful when the 혠 signal is weak or it is in the incommunicable region such as tunnel. In the case of INS, the information of the position and posture of mobile with several Hz~several hundreds Hz data speed is recorded for velocity, direction. INS shows a very precise navigational performance for a short period, but it has the disadvantage of increasing velocity components because of the accumulated error during integration over time. In this paper, sensor fusion algorithm is applied to both of INS and GPS for the position information to overcome the drawbacks. The proposed system gets an accurate position information from experiment using SVD in a non-accessible GPS terrain.
