In this paper, we propose an indoor positioning algorithm based on 3 points near field angle-of-arrival estimation without side information. The conventional angle-of-arrival based positioning scheme requires the distance between the listener and the center of two points which is obtained by a received signal strength based range estimation. However, a received signal strength is affected by structure of room, placement of furniture, and characteristic of signal, these effects cause a large error to estimation of angle. In this paper, the proposed positioning scheme based on near field angle-of-arrival estimation can be used to estimate the position of listener without a prior distance information, just using time-difference-of-arrival information given from 3 points microphones. The performance of the proposed scheme is shown by cumulative distribution function of root mean squared error.

This paper proposes a repeat-back jamming signal detection scheme that utilizes a combined pseudo random noise signal that is effective for processing a global positioning system (GPS) repeat-back jamming signal with the early minus late phase scheme to alleviate any existing multipath signal detection. The proposed scheme uses the combined pseudo random noise signal to treat repeat-back jamming signals like similar multipath signals and can effectively detect a repeat-back jamming signal by applying the early minus late phase scheme to a combined pseudo random noise signal. Through a Monte-Carlo simulation, the detection probability of the proposed scheme is better than the one of the conventional scheme under low jamming to signal power ratio.

Locations of nodes as well as gathered data from nodes are very important because generally multiple nodes are deployed randomly and data are gathered in wireless sensor network. Since the nodes composing wireless sensor network are low cost and low performance devices, it is very difficult to add specially designed devices for positioning into the nodes. Therefore in wireless sensor network, technology positioning nodes precisely using low cost is very important and valuable. This research proposes Cooperative Positioning System, which raises accuracy of location positioning and also can find positions on multiple sensors within limited times.

In the maglev system, accurate train position is essential for safe and efficient train operation. Train positioning systems in the maglev systems are different from conventional railway system because railway train has no wheels. And various train positioning principles and systems have been used in maglev systems. In this paper, we study several positioning principles and systems on adapting existing various maglev systems and analyze functional structure of absolute positioning system in ultra high speed maglev system. Then we propose development scheme on absolute positioning system for developing ultra high speed maglev system.

In this paper, the positioning performance index is proposed. The proposed index is used to find satellites that degrade positioning performance to improve the positioning performance. To do this, the proposed index is calculated using the code measurement quality and the DOP. And, through the experiment, the effectiveness of the proposed index is confirmed. In the experiment, the quality of the code measurements is analyzed, and the effectiveness of the proposed index is confirmed by comparing with the result of the precise float solution. Finally, it is shown that the precise float solution performance is improved by using the proposed index.

Piezoelectric actuator is widely used in precision positioning applications due to its excellent positioning resolution. However, serious hysteresis nonlinearity of the actuator deteriorates its precise positioning capability. Evenworse, its hysteresis nonlinearity changes as the actuator input frequency varies. In this study, a simple feedforward scheme is proposed and tested through experiments for precision position control when the variance of the system input frequency is significant.

Recently, development of indoor positioning system and IoT such as beacon makes it possible to collect and analyze each customer's shopping behavior in off-line shopping malls. In this study, we propose a realtime brand recommendation scheme based on each customer's brand visiting history for off-line shopping mall with indoor positioning system. The proposed scheme, which apply collaborative filtering to off-line shopping mall, is composed of training and apply process. The training process is designed to make the base brand network (BBN) using historical transaction data. Then, the scheme yields recommended brands for shopping customers based on their behaviors and BBN in the apply process. In order to verify the performance of the proposed scheme, simulation was conducted using purchase history data from a department store in Korea. Then, the results was compared to the previous scheme. Experimental results showd that the proposed scheme performs brand recommendation effectively in off-line shopping mall.

Since the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) may not provide navigation information due to external interferences, many countries have plans to prepare a backup system for this situation. One of the possible GNSS backup systems is a multiple radio positioning integration system in combination with the terrestrial radio navigation system. Before constructing such a GNSS backup system, M&S software is needed to analyze if the system satisfies the performance the required navigation performance. This study presents requirements of M&S software for coverage analysis of the navigation system, and proposes an M&S software design scheme on the basis of the requirements. The M&S software is implemented, and coverage analysis is performed to verify the validity of the proposed design scheme.

In this paper, a friction compensation scheme using a fuzzy logic is presented. For the precision positioning and tracking control, the proper friction compensation is essential. Friction compensation schemes based on velocity and controlling input or desired velocity, have limitations because the compensation values are fixed. In this paper, a fuzzy friction compensation scheme adjusts the compensation value depending on the velocity and the position error. The proposed fuzzy friction compensator is implemented in a linear positioning system. The performance is illustrated by simulations and experiments.

In wireless sensor networks, the positioning scheme using received signal strength (RSS) has been widely considered. Appropriate estimation of path-loss exponent (PLE) between a sensor node and an anchor node plays a key role in reducing position error in this RSS-based positioning scheme. In the conventional researches, a sensor node directly uses the PLEs measured by its nearest anchor node to calculate its position. However, the actual PLE between a sensor node and the anchor node can be different from the PLE measured by its nearest anchor node. Thus, if a sensor node directly uses the PLEs measured by its nearest anchor node, the estimated position is different from the actual position of the sensor node with a high probability. In this paper, we describe the method how a sensor node estimates PLEs from the anchor nodes of interest by itself and calculates its position based on these self-estimated PLEs. Especially, our proposal suggests the mechanism to iteratively calculate the PLEs depending on the estimated distances between a sensor node and anchor nodes. Based on the recalculated PLEs, the sensor node reproduces its position. Through simulations, we show that our proposed positioning scheme outperforms the traditional scheme in terms of position error.
