주변 환경 변화에 따라 무선 수신 신호가 변화되는 현상을 활용한 Internet of Things(IoT) 시스템에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 고정된 송수신기 간 주기적 신호 교환 시, 수신 신호가 주변 온도 변화에 따라 변화함을 증명하고, 수신 신호 변화를 활용한 화재 감지 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법은 수신 신호 변화 감지부와 수신기 내부 온도 감지부로 구성되며, 수신기 내부 온도 감지부는 무선 채널 환경 변화에 따른 수신 신호 변화를 화재 발생으로 감지됨을 방지한다. 제안 기법은 화재 감지를 위해 별도의 장치 추가 없이 기존 수신기에 소프트웨어 개선을 통해 지원가능하다는 장점을 지닌다.

GPS는 실내에서 수신률이 떨어지는 특성을 가지고 있다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해 AP의 RSS를 이용한 측위기술에 대한 연구와 개발이 이루어지고 있다. 측위기술과 더불어 신호 세기만을 가지고 장애물까지 판단할 수 있다면 활용도와 효율성 측면에서 이를 응용한 서비스를 하는 입장에서도 별다른 구축비용이 들지 않는다는 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 RSS(Received Signal Strength)를 이용하여 장애물을 판단하는 방법을 제시한다.

This paper reveals a distance estimation algorithm based on multi-code ultrasonic and wireless sensor network. For measuring the distances among the sensor nodes, each ultrasonic transmitter transmits multi-code ultrasonic signal simultaneously. Receivers use cross correlation method to separate the coded signals. The information of measured distances is broadcasted to each sensor node by wireless sensor network. The wireless sensor network measures the distance among the sensor nodes using the received signal strength of the broadcasting. The multi-code ultrasonic have a limitation of measurable distance. And the received signal strength is affected from an environment. This paper measures a distance using ultrasonic and a received signal strength in short range. These measured data are applied to the least square estimation algorithm. By the expansion of the fitting curve, a distance measurement in long range using the received signal strength is compensated. The coupled system reduce the error to an acceptable level.

An indoor navigation system that utilizes long-term evolution (LTE) signals has the benefit of no additional infrastructure installation expenses and low base station database management costs. Among the LTE signal measurements, received signal strength (RSS) is particularly appealing because it can be easily obtained with mobile devices. Propagation channel models can be used to estimate the position of mobile devices with RSS. However, conventional channel models have a shortcoming in that they do not discriminate between line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) conditions of the received signal. Accordingly, a previous study has suggested separated LOS and NLOS channel models. However, a method for determining LOS and NLOS conditions was not devised. In this study, a machine learning-based LOS/NLOS classification method using RSS measurements is developed. We suggest several machine-learning features and evaluate various machine-learning algorithms. As an indoor experimental result, up to 87.5% classification accuracy was achieved with an ensemble algorithm. Furthermore, the range estimation accuracy with an average error of 13.54 m was demonstrated, which is a 25.3% improvement over the conventional channel model.

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks(MANETs) consists of mobile nodes which communicate with each other without any centralized infrastructure. Message broadcasting by flooding for route discovery in MANET can result in high redundant retransmission, contention and collision of broadcasting packet, known as the broadcast storm problem collectively. The cross-layer design is adopted in this paper, which lets routing layer share the received signal strength information at MAC layer. Also this paper proposes a new probabilistic approach that dynamically adjusts the rebroadcasting probability of a node for routing request packets (RREQs) according to the received signal strength. The simulation results show that the proposed approach demonstrates better performance than blind flooding, fixed probabilistic broadcasting approaches.

This paper investigates the effect of absorption loss by a human body to the received signal strength with respect to on-body transmitting antenna positions in on-to-off wireless body area networks. This investigation is based on measurement results obtained from experiments performed on human bodies (male and female) using planar inverted-F antennas in an anechoic chamber. The total absorption loss by the human body is also presented through the SEMCAD-X simulations. Our investigation showed that the received signal strength becomes lower when the transmitting antenna is mounted at a specific position where more absorption loss is experienced. The statistical analyses of on-to-off body channel characteristics based on the measurement results are presented.

본 논문에서는 무선 센서 노드의 실내 위치 추적 시스템을 제안한다. 위치 추정에 사용하는 센서 값으로 RF 인터페이스의 수신 신호 강도 (RSSI)를 사용한다. 이동 노드를 부착한 사용자와 실내에 고정된 다수의 고정 노드의 신호 강도를 수신하여 사용자의 위치를 결정한다. 제안한 시스템은 측정에 의한 2.4GHz log-normal path loss 모델의 수신강도와 유클리드 거리 계산 방법과 신호 강도를 결합한다. 실험결과를 통해서 1.3m 이내의 오차로 위치를 추정함을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 블루투스 비콘이 송신하는 저전력 블루투스 신호의 세기와 전파 방향성에 따른 수신 강도(Received Signal Strength Index, RSSI) 변화를 분석하였다. 자수정 지하광산에서 스마트폰을 이용하여 저전력 블루투스 신호의 RSSI 변화를 조사한 결과, 무지향성 비콘의 경우 비콘과 스마트폰 사이의 거리가 감소할수록 신호 세기가 증가할수록 RSSI 평균이 점차 증가하였다. 지향성 비콘의 RSSI 평균은 비콘과 스마트폰이 마주 보는 각도와는 연관성 없이 변화하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 블루투스 비콘 기반의 지하광산 근접경고시스템 개발을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

In this study, we propose a novel mobile tracking method based on Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM), in which uncertain parameters-the received signal strength, the distance between the mobile and the base station, the moving direction, and the previous location-are used in the decision process using the aggregation function in the fuzzy set theory. Through numerical results, we show that our proposed mobile tracking method provides a better performance than the conventional method using the received signal strength.

Fingerprinting is a widely used positioning technology for received signal strength (RSS) based wireless local area network (WLAN) positioning system. Though spatial RSS variation is the key factor of the positioning technology, temporal RSS variation needs to be considered for more accuracy. To deal with the spatial and temporal RSS characteristics within a unified framework, this paper proposes an extended signal propagation mode (ESPM) and a fingerprint generation method. The proposed spatiotemporal fingerprint generation method consists of two algorithms running in parallel; Kalman filtering at several measurement-sampling locations and Kriging to generate location fingerprints at dense reference locations. The two different algorithms are connected by the extended signal propagation model which describes the spatial and temporal measurement characteristics in one frame. An experiment demonstrates that the proposed method provides an improved positioning accuracy.
