Since it is hard to use GPS for tracking mobile user in indoor environments, much research has focused on techniques using existing wireless local area network infrastructure. Signal strength received at a fixed location is not constant, so fingerprinting approach which use pattern matching is popular. But this approach has to pay additional costs to determine user location. This paper proposes a new approach to find user's location efficiently using an index scheme. After analyzing characteristics of RF signals, the paper suggests the data processing method how the signal strength values for each of the access points are recorded in a radio map. To reduce computational cost during the location determination phase, multidimensional indexes for radio map with the important information which is the order of the strongest access points are used.

This paper presents an efficient location estimation methodology for a partial discharge(PD) source in the power transformer. The methodology previously proposed is not suitable for locating a PD source because the ultrasonic signal with medium attenuated through the inner structure. In general, the propagation characteristic of ultrasonic signal with medium is different. Therefore, using this propagation characteristic, we can detect the location of PD source. In this paper, the proposal algorithm finds the PD source using three sensors attached to one side of the transformer without attenuation of the ultrasonic signal and applying the neural network based geometrical method. The proposed methodology demonstrates the effectiveness and validity on an experimental transformer.

This paper proposes the new multiple signal processing monitoring sensor for the marine installation. The recent marine technology is focused on underwater sensors and underwater sensor networks in order to measure, monitor, surveillance of and control of underwater environments. For these marine applications to be available, however, the provision of precise location information using monitoring sensor is essential. In this paper, the multiple signal processing circuit for obtaining the precise location information of marine installation sensor is developed and analyzed. The performance characteristics for obtaining the location information of marine installation sensor is analyzed. The theoretical and experimental studies have been carried out. The presented results from the above investigation show considerably excellent performance for the monitoring for the marine installation.

This paper is the study for the separating noise signal that is the greatest problem in ultrasonic signal measurement which is one of the method of estimation of partial discharge signals location. Because we can measure the number and location of signal, it is possible to distinguish between the signal of partial discharge and the external noise. Therefore, we can develop the credibility of detecting of insulating deterioration in transformer.

최근 사물 사이의 정보 소통을 가능하게 하는 사물 인터넷 기술을 이용한 지능형 실내 위치 인식서비스에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 특히 스마트 기기를 이용한 실내 위치 기반 서비스에 대한 수요와 적용 사례가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 이를 위해 실내 위치 측위 기술로서 BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) 기술에 많은 관심이 증가되고 있다. 그러나 iBeacon이 제공하는 신호만을 이용하여 측위를 하게 되면 신호 간섭 등의 이유로 실내 위치 정보의 신뢰도는 떨어지게 된다. 본 논문에서는 iBeacon의 신호 정보로 부터 신뢰성 있는 위치 정보를 얻기 위한 데이터 수집 방법과 신뢰도 높은 위치 정보 연산 기법을 제안한다.

The objective of this research is estimating the location of interested sound source by using the similarity between a beamformer output in time domain and the candidate signal. The waveform of beamformer output at the location of sound source is similar with the waveform emitted by that source. To estimate the location of sound source by using this feature, we define quantified similarity between candidate signal and beamformer output. The candidate signal describes the signal which is generated by interested source. In this paper, similarity is defined by four methods. The two methods use time vector comparison, and the other two methods use time-frequency map or linear prediction coefficients. To figure out the results and performance of localization by using similarities, we demonstrate two conditions. The one is when two pure tone sources exist and the other condition is when several bird sounds exist. As a consequence, inner product with two time-vectors and structural similarity with spectrograms can estimate the locations of interest sound source.

In this study, the leak detection technique of pressure vessel by using acoustic emission(AE) signal is suggested experimentally. The leak of pressure vessel is located at the welding line due to welding defects. we measured the AE signal using Rl5I sensor, and examined the AE parameters in leak condition. It is investigated that the mean value of AE signal is dependent on leak source location. So the absolute mean value of AE signal is adopted as dominant AE parameter. We proposed leak detection algorithm using AE signal mean value for monitoring the leak source location.

Fingerprinting method is useful when estimating the location of a requestor based on LTE signals in an urban area. To do this, it is necessary to acquire location-based signals everywhere in the service area for fingerprint DB generation in advance. However, there may be signal uncollected area within a wide service area, which may cause a problem that the positioning accuracy of the requestor is low. In order to solve this problem, in this paper, signal propagation modeling is performed based on the obtained measurements, and based on this model, the signal information in the non-acquisition region is estimated. To this end, techniques for modeling signal propagation according to a method using measurements are proposed. The performance of the proposed techniques is verified based on the measurements obtained on a test bed selected as Seocho-gu, Seoul. As a result, it can be seen that signal propagation modeling performed based on multidivision segmented measurements has the most performance improvement.

In this paper, we introduce a new method for detecting and estimating faults on a power line using the time-frequency domain reflectometry system. The system rests upon time-frequency signal analysis and uses a chirp signal which is multiplied by Gaussian envelope. The chirp signal is used as a reference signal, and we can get the reflected signal from a fault on a wire. To detect and estimate faults, we analyze the reflected signal by Wigner time-frequency distribution function and normalized time-frequency cross correlation function. In this paper we design an optimal reference signal for power line and implement a system for estimating fault distance on a power line with the TFDR implemented by PXI equipments. This approach is verified by some experiments with HIV 2.25mm power lines.

A promising approach to improve the performance of mobile location system is the use of antenna arrays in both transmitter and receiver sides. Using advanced array signal processing techniques, such multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems can offer more mobile location information by exploiting the spatial properties of the multipath channel. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to determine the position of mobile terminal based on estimated multipath signal parameters using only one base station in MIMO communication systems. This approach intends to minimize the error occurring from the estimation of multiple paths and gives an optimal estimation of the position of mobile terminal by simultaneously calculating a set of nonlinear location equations. This solution breaks the bottleneck of conventional mobile location systems which have to require multilateration of at least three base stations.
