Positioning technology is performing important functions in augmented reality, smart factory, and autonomous driving. Among the positioning techniques, the positioning method using beacons has been considered a challenging task due to the deviation of the RSSI value. In this study, the position of a moving object is predicted by training a neural network that takes the RSSI value of the receiver as an input and the distance as the target value. To do this, the measured distance versus RSSI was collected.

Recently, an RSSI-based fingerprinting localization technology has been widely used in indoor location-based services. In the conventional fingerprinting method, as many APs as possible are used to increase the accuracy of location estimation. In another study, a part of APs having the strongest RSSI signal intensity are selected and used to reduce the time spent for positioning. However, it does not reflect the influence of RSSI occurred from the changes of the surrounding environments such as human movement or moving obstacles in a real environment. The environmental changes may cause the difference between the predicted RSSI signal strength value and the measured value, and thus occur an unpredictable error in the position estimation. Therefore, in order to mitigate the error caused by environmental factors, it is necessary to select APs suitable for indoor positioning estimation considering the changes in the surrounding environments. In this paper, we propose a method to select stable APs considering the influence of surrounding environments and derive a suitable positioning algorithm. In addition, we compare and analyze the performance of the proposed method with that of the existing AP selection methods through experiments.

Among the positioning techniques, the positioning method using beacons has been considered a challenging task due to the deviation of the RSSI value. In this study, the position of a moving object is predicted by training a neural network that takes the RSSI value of the receiver as an input and the distance as the target value. To do this, the measured distance versus RSSI was collected. A neural network was introduced to create synthetic data from the collected actual data. Based on this neural network, the RSSI value versus distance was predicted. The real value of RSSI was obtained as a neural network for generating synthetic data, and based on this value, the coordinates of the object were estimated by learning a neural network that tracks the location of a terminal in a virtual environment.

In this paper, Indoor Positioning System based on Wi-Fi system which is one of the key technology in LBS(Location Based Service) is proposed. The proposed system estimates distance between MS(Mobile Station) and AP(Access Point) using RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indicator). RSSI is affected by outlier that originate from indoor environment complexity and obstacle. In this paper, we introduce a Robust outlier Extended Kalman Filter that can ignore, real-time outlier in the observations. To demonstrate performance of proposed indoor positioning system, we used a PDA as the MS.

Recently, Fingerprint approach using RSSI based on WLAN has been many studied in order to construct low-cost indoor localization systems. Because this technique is relatively evaluated non-precise positioning technique compared with the positioning of Ultra-Wide-Band(UWB), the performance of the Fingerprint based on WLAN should be continuously improved to implement various indoor location. Therefore, this paper presents a Fingerprint approach which can improve the performance of localization by using RSSI and LQI contained IEEE 802.15.4 standard. The advantages of these techniques are that the characteristics of each location is created more clearly by utilizing RSSI and LQI and Fingerprint technique is improved by using the modified Euclidean distance method. The experimental results which are applied in NLOS indoor environment with various obstacles show that the accuracy of localization is improved to 22% compared to conventional Fingerprint.

There have recently been various services that use indoor location estimation technologies. Representative methods of location estimation include fingerprinting and triangulation, but they lack accuracy. Various kinds of research which apply existing location estimation methods like AOA, TOA, and TDOA are being done to solve this problem. In this paper, we study the location estimation algorithm based on AOA using a RSSI difference in indoor environments. We assume that there is a single AP with four antennas, and estimate the angle of arrival based on the RSSI value to apply the AOA algorithm. To compensate for RSSI, we use a recursive averaging filter, and use the corrected RSSI and the Pythagorean theorem to estimate the angle of arrival. The results of the experiment, show an error of 18% because of the radiation pattern of the four non-directional antennas arranged at narrow intervals.

본 논문은 실내에서 사용자의 위치를 측위하기 위해 건물 실내에 설치되어 있는 Wireless AP(Access Point)에서 발신되는 RSSI(Received signal strength indication)를 수집한 후 Friis 공식을 통해 거리로 변환하여 위치를 측위한다. Friis 공식을 적용하는 과정에서 RSSI 신호가 약할수록 거리의 오차가 매우 심하게 변동되기 때문에 본 논문에서는 이러한 오차를 개선하기 위해 신호세기가 강한 2개의 AP좌표와 RSSI를 이용하여 두 원의 교점을 구하는 방정식과 좌표 사이의 거리를 구하는 방정식을 사용하는 위치측위 시스템을 구현하였고, 실험결과 제안한 방법이 기존의 삼각측량법보다 오차가 개선되었음을 확인할 수 있었다.

블루투스 비콘을 이용한 실내 측위 시스템에서 수신 RSSI 신호는 다중경로 페이딩, 주변 신호의 간섭 등의 영향으로 인하여 불규칙한 잡음이 섞이게 된다. 본 논문에서는 실제 실내 환경에서의 측정을 통해 RSSI 신호의 통계적 특성을 분석한다. 또한, RSSI 신호의 잡음을 완화시켜서 효과적으로 실내 측위를 수행할 수 있는 방안에 대해서도 모색해 본다.

The indoor location based service proposed in the study was assigned to target a moving user. Positioning in the outdoor environment is accurate while using GPS. However, in an indoor environment, positioning is inaccurate and difficult. In order to overcome this, studies of various techniques for positioning based on wireless communication such as Wi-Fi, Zigbee and Bluetooth are being performed. The RSSI value and the delivery signal of the bluetooth beacon are measured according to the distance, and to a database. It was applied calculating the value for the average RSSI and the RSSI filtering feedback. Filtering is used to reduce the error of the RSSI values that are measured at long distance. When average and feedback filtering coefficient are set with 0.5, irregular and highly RSSI values are decreased. As the distance increases, the range of error is confirmed to have a reduction when using a distance calculation correction algorithm. Finally, when using the RSSI measurement results filtering, it corrects an unstable signal. Also, the distance correction algorithm is used to reduce a range of errors.

위치기반서비스는 기본적으로 사용자의 위치를 파악해야 한다. 측위방법은 옥외용과 옥내용으로 구분되며, 옥외용에는 GPS 방법, 이동통신망을 이용한 방법, GPS와 이동통신망을 복합적으로 활용한 방법이 있고 옥내용에는 RF 신호를 이용한 RADAR가 있다. GPS 방법은 미 국방성의 선택적 제공 때문에 큰 오차가 불가피하다. 한편 RADAR 방식은 오차가 작으나 옥내에서만 적용이 가능하다. 근래에는 대학 캠퍼스마다 무선LAN을 서비스하지 않는 곳이 없다. 본 논문은 무선LAN용 AP의 신호의 세기(RSSI)를 이용하여 정확도를 제고하는 옥외 측위방법을 제안한다. GPS를 이용한 측위와 제안하는 RSSI를 이용한 방법의 정확도를 실험적으로 비교한 결과를 소개하고, GPS 데이터와 RSSI를 함께 고려한 측위 방법과의 비교 결과도 소개한다.
