Wi-Fi STAs in power saving mode described in the Wi-Fi specification can deteriorate the system performance such as throughput, time delay when they receive data frames from a Wi-Fi AP. This problem is caused by data frame reception failure due to the channel state, and it increases re-transmissions. In this paper, we propose a modified power saving mode considering fairness of Wi-Fi system in order to solve the problem. By simulation, we showed that data throughput can be increased without time delay degradation if the proposed method restricting the number of packet transmission attempts and HARQ are used.

WPS(WiFi Positioning System)는 무선 AP의 정보를 통해 현재 이동 객체의 위치를 찾는 시스템이다. 일반적으로 WPS는 실내외에 존재하는 고정 AP 신호 세기 특징을 활용하여 무선 LAN을 보유한 이동 객체가 현재 자신의 위치를 판단할 때 사용된다. 그러나 지금까지 WPS 기술을 대량의 이동객체를 관리하기 위한 목적으로 활용한 연구는 거의 없다. 본 논문은 스마트폰 환경에서 WPS의 기능과 테더링을 응용하여 대량의 이동객체의 이탈을 판단하기 위한 기법과 이를 확장하여 위치까지 추적할 수 있는 시스템에 대하여 제안한다.

우리나라에서 어딜 가든 WI-FI를 이용해 네트워크에 접속할 수 있는 환경이 되었다. 하지만 rogue AP로 인한 모바일 기기들의 좀비화, 개인정보 유출, BYOD환경으로 인한 회사의 자료유출까지 다양한 정보들을 보호하고 모바일 기기의 해킹가능성을 줄여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 접속 AP정보와 GPS기반 위치정보를 신뢰 테이블에 등록해 이동 중에는 신뢰테이블 외 신호는 사용자의 확인을 거쳐 rogue AP에 자동접속 되어 기기가 감염되거나, 개인정보가 유출되는 일을 방지하기 위한 방법을 제안한다.

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.

In this paper, we propose an IoT based smart outlet system for one-person household with electric safety, electric energy consumption management and transmission of messages to the reserved contacts by connecting the emergency network. The proposed smart outlet system is implemented by parsing packet data and protocol between server, module, application and WiFi AP receiver. The WiFi AP built for communication can be used not only for the outlet but also for the gas barrier, the door lock and the like. In addition, the proposed method can provide the remote monitoring function by receiving the amount of power of the receptacle received through the AC current sensor (SCT-013) in real time. The smart outlet system is expected to be capable of automatically shutting off the power in case of emergency through automatic power use analysis in addition to the standby power cutoff function.

Currently, GPS(Global Positioning System) is used to find user location information. However, in some cases, especially in urban environments, we receive unreliable location information deu to multipath fading. In order to resolve this problem, we propose a closely coupled positioning technique where GPS signal is combined with QZSS signal. Also we proposed and analyze a combining algorithm of GNSS and Wi-Fi signals to get closely coupled location information by referring AP information. Finally, this paper proposes a combined GPS/QZSS/Wi-Fi navigation algorithm to improve navigation performance, and it is verified by testing of car deriving according to availability and accuracy standard.

Wi-Fi Round-trip timing (RTT) based location estimation technology estimates the distance between the user and the AP based on the transmission and reception time of the signal. This is because reception instability and signal distortion are greater than that of a Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) based fingerprint in an indoor NLOS environment, resulting in a large position error due to multipath fading. To solve this problem, in this paper, we propose an end-to-end based WiFi Trilateration Net (WTN) that combines neural network-based RTT correction and trilateral positioning network, respectively. The proposed WTN is composed of an RNN-based correction network to improve the RTT distance accuracy and a neural network-based trilateral positioning network for real-time positioning implemented in an end-to-end structure. The proposed network improves learning efficiency by changing the trilateral positioning algorithm, which cannot be learned through differentiation due to mathematical operations, to a neural network. In addition, in order to increase the stability of the TOA based RTT, a correction network is applied in the scanning step to collect reliable distance estimation values from each RTT AP.

As more people use Wi-Fi and hotspot, unauthorized APs become one of big security problems in modern society. From the beginning of 2010, researchers study about unauthorized AP continually and contributed a lot of methods of detecting unauthorized AP that use wireless resources. Many researches about unauthorized AP detection use time-delay measurement (e.g., average or standard deviation) which is caused by additional wireless connection. In the most previous researches, however, the unauthorized APs consist of laptop and pulg-in Wi-Fi adaptor, and researchers did not concern about time-delay caused by software network sharing. In this paper, we show that existing unauthorized AP detection scheme that can not efficiently classify the high performance unauthorized AP.

The most typically utilized positioning method in the existing indoor WPS that is a positioning method utilizing distributed wireless network is the finger print. Its positioning is carried out by calculating the difference between the AP information map and WiFi AP signal collected. However, there are problems like low accuracy and high cost when the existing method and the radio map formation are applied to outdoors. In this paper, the characteristics of the existing WPS are surveyed and their problems are examined. In addition, we propose a new WPS using weak signal and a method to construct radio map in order to solve the above problems. And then, the results of experimental test will be analyzed.
