We have previously proposed a preliminary cut-off indoor positioning scheme considering the reference point with the same signal similarity. This scheme estimates the position using the relative rank of the peak of received signal strength from the beacons around user. However, this scheme has a weak point with lower accuracy when there are more than one nearest reference points having the same signal similarity. In order to tackle this, we propose a weighted preliminary cut-off indoor positioning scheme. Firstly, if the above problem occurs, the similarity to the peak of signal strength is considered as well as the relative rank. Next, weights are assigned to the nearest reference points using the similarity to the peak of the received signal strength. Finally, the user's position is estimated by applying the weights. As a result, the weighted preliminary cut-off scheme improves the positioning accuracy by about 7.9% compared to the previous scheme.

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.

In this paper, an efficient and robust localization algorithm using Receiver Signal Strength Difference (RSSD) for a non-cooperative RF emitter is given. The proposed algorithm firstly calculate the center point and radius of Apollonius's circles and then estimate the intersection point of the circles based on Time of Arrival concept. And this paper also compares the performance of RSSD localization algorithms such as Non-linear Least Squares and Linearized Least Squares by Lines of Position (LOP) with the proposed algorithm. And some conclusions have been reached regarding the relative accuracy, robustness and computational cost of these algorithms.

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.

In this paper, we propose a new algorithm to improve the accuracy of the Wi-Fi access point (AP) positioning technique. The proposed algorithm based on evaluating the trustworthiness of the signal strength quality of each measurement node is superior to other existing AP positioning algorithms, such as the centroid, weighted centroid, multilateration, and radio distance ratio methods, owing to advantages such as reduction of distance errors during positioning, reduction of complexity, and ease of implementation. To validate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we conducted experiments in a complex indoor environment with multiple walls and obstacles, multiple office rooms, corridors, and lobby, and measured the corresponding AP signal strength value at several specific points based on their coordinates. Using the proposed algorithm, we can obtain more accurate positioning results of the APs for use in research or industrial applications, such as finding rogue APs, creating radio maps, or estimating the radio frequency propagation properties in an area.

본 논문에서는 전자파적합성 국제 규격인 IEC 61000-4-4에서 규정하고 있는 전기적으로 빠른 과도현상/버스트(EFT/Burst) 신호가 전원선을 따라 시험대상품에 인가될 때, 인가신호에 기인하여 방사되는 불요전자파와 그 신호가 피시험품에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구하였다. 먼저 국제규격에 규정된 시험 배치방법에 따라 시험 샘플을 설치하고, 검증된 EFT/Burst 발생기로 1분 동안 +4 kV의 규정된 신호를 길이 1 m인 전원선을 통해 시험 샘플에 인가하였다. 그 결과, 전원선을 통해 인가되는 전도성 EFT/Burst 내성 신호 외 버스트 발생기 및 전원선에서 직접 공기 중으로 방출되는 방사성 신호(EFT/Burst 노이즈)가 검출되었고, 국제 공인시험 규격으로 이 신호를 측정한 결과, 규제 레벨보다 30 dB 이상 높았다. 또한, EFT/Burst 방사성 신호의 최대 방사 지점과 시험품의 이격 거리에 따른 전계강도를 측정한 결과, 방사내성 국제 규격치보다 최대 23 V/m 이상 강한 전계강도가 검출되었다. 이는 EFT/Burst 방사성 노이즈가 직접적으로 제품에 인가되어 오동작을 유발할 가능성이 대단히 높으므로 대책이 요구됨을 확인하였다.

DWI of biological effects are independent of magnetic field strength in various regions. High field strength, however, does affect the signal to noise ratio (SNR) and artifacts of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) images, which ultimately will influence the quantitative of diffusion imaging. In this study, the effects of field strength on DWI are reviewed. The effects of the diseases also are discussed. Comparing DWI in cerebellum, WM, GM, Hyperacute region measurements both as a function of field strength (1.5T and 3.0T). Overall, the SNR of the DWI roughly doubled going from 1.5 T to 3.0 T. In summary, DWI studies at 3.0 T is provided significantly improved DWI measurements relative to studies at 1.5T.

수동 소나 시스템에서는 수중 소음원에 대한 신호처리 과정을 수행하여 토널 및 주파수선의 신호 성분으로부터 신호 세기 대역폭, 토널 개수, 토널간의 상호 관계둥의 다양한 특징인자를 분석, 비교하여 표적을 식별하게 되며, 표적 식별율을 향상시키기 위해서는 무엇보다도 주파수선의 신호 성분만을 정밀하게 탐지하고 추출하여야 한다. 그러나 수중신호의 스펙트로그램상에 형성되는 협대역 주파수선은 토널의 신호 세기와 바다 자체의 전달 특성 둥으로 인하여 미약하게 탐지되거나 불규칙하게 끊어져서 불연속적으로 나타날 뿐 아니라 임펄스성의 주변잡음 성분과 복합적으로 존재하므로 주파수선의 신호 성분만을 정밀하게 탐지하고 추출하기가 매우 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 신호 세기가 미약한 경우나 높은 주변잡음이 복합되어 있는 경우에도 정밀하게 주파수선의 신호 성분만을 탐지, 추출한 수 있는 협대역 다중 주파수선의 자동 탐지 및 추출을 위한 기법을 제안하였으며, 실제 수중표적 신호를 적용하여 제안된 알고리즘이 매우 유용함을 보인다.
