The fingerprint, which is one of the methods of indoor localization using WiFi, has been frequently studied because of its ability to be implemented via wireless access points. This method has low positioning resolution and high computational complexity compared to other methods, caused by its dependence of reference points in the radio map. In order to compensate for these problems, this paper presents a radio map designed algorithm based on the log-distance path loss model fusing a WiFi and BLE fingerprint. The proposed algorithm designs a radio map with variable values using the log-distance path loss model and reduces distance errors using a median filter. The experimental results of the proposed algorithm, compared with existing fingerprinting methods, show that the accuracy of positioning improved by from 2.747 m to 2.112 m, and the computational complexity reduced by a minimum of 33% according to the access points.

Recent researches on autonomous driving of vehicles are becoming very active, and it is a trend to assist safe driving and improve driver's convenience. Autonomous vehicles are required to combine artificial intelligence, image recognition capability, and Internet communication between objects. Because mobile telecommunication networks have limitations in their processing, they can be easily implemented and scale using an easily expandable Wi-Fi network. We propose a wireless design method to construct such a vehicle control network. We propose the arrangement of AP and the software configuration method to minimize loss of data transmission / reception of mobile terminal. Through the design of the proposed network system, the communication performance of the moving vehicle can be dramatically increased. We also verify the packet structure of GPS, video, voice, and data communication that can be used for the vehicle through experiments on the movement of various terminal devices. This wireless design technology can be extended to various general purpose wireless networks such as 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 10GHz Wi-Fi. It is also possible to link wireless intelligent road network with autonomous driving.

본 논문은 기존의 T-DMB(Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) 재난 정보 신호를 Wi-Fi(Wireless Fidelity)를 이용하여 재전송하는 기법을 제시한다. 각종 재난이 발생하는 지역의 T-DMB 난시청 구간에 대해서 Wi-Fi 를 이용하여 재난 정보 신호를 재전송함으로써 재난 정보 신호를 받지 못하는 시청자에게 신속한 재난 정보 서비스를 가능하게 해준다. 재난이 발생한 지역에서 T-DMB 재난 정보를 수신할 수 없는 시청자에게 AP(Access Point)를 이용하여 재난 정보를 재전송하는 것이 목적이다. 이에 본 논문에서 제안하는 Wi-Fi 를 이용한 재전송 기법은 T-DMB 신호를 수신하지 못한 시청자에게 재난정보를 효율적으로 재전송함으로써 해당 지역에 더 높은 재난 정보 수신률을 제공할 뿐만 아니라 국민의 생명과 안전을 도모할 수 있다.

Wi-Fi Direct는 그룹 내 임시적인 AP 역할을 하는 그룹 오너를 중심으로 그룹 클라이언트들이 1:1이나 1:N으로 연결되어 통신하는 D2D(Device to Device) 기술이다. 이러한 구조로 인해 그룹 오너는 Wi-Fi Direct 네트워크 성능에 지대한 영향을 미치지만 현재 Wi-Fi Direct 표준에는 그룹 구성을 변경하는 방안이 명시되어 있지 않다. 따라서 그룹 구성을 변경하고자 할 시 처음부터 그룹을 새로 형성해야 하며, 이로 인해 QoS(Quality of Service)가 감소하는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 그룹 구성 변경 시 QoS를 보장할 수 있는 그룹 관리 방안을 제안한다.

GPS is the representative positioning technology for providing the location information. This technique has the disadvantage that does not operate in the shadow areas, such as urban or dense forest and the interior. This paper proposes a hybrid indoor positioning algorithm, which estimates a more accurate location of the terminal using strength of the Wi-Fi signal from the indoor AP. To determine the location of the user, we establish the most appropriate path loss model for the measurement environment. by using the RSSI value measured in a variety of environment such as building structure, person, distance, etc. The path loss exponent obtained by the path loss model is changed according to the environment. REKF, PF estimate the position of the terminal by using measured value from the AP with path loss exponent. For more accurate position estimation, we select positioning system by the value of threshold measured by experiments rather than a single positioning system. Experimental results using the proposed hybrid algorithm show that the performance is improved by about 17% than the conventional single positioning method.

With the development of ICT(Information and Communication Technology), the number of smart devices is rapidly increasing. LBS(Location Based Service) applications that provide user's location based service are used in various fields. There is also a growing demand for indoor precision positioning technology to provide seamless services. In this paper, we propose an indoor positioning system that estimates the location of a smartphone user. The proposed algorithm determines whether the received signal is LOS(Line-of-Sight) or NLOS(Non-Line of-Sight) in order to decrease multipath effect by the indoor environment. The proposed positioning algorithm is very simple and requires only the AP(Access Point) coordinates. In addition, it requires only two APs for estimating the location of a smartphone user. The proposed algorithm is a practically applicable technology without any additional hardware and kernel modification in the smartphone. In the experiment results, the reliability of the positioning system was found to be within 0.83 m.

OFDM Wi-Fi AP is susceptible to the co-channel interference. As a countermeasure, the insertion of a smart has been addressed. Despite of the guaranteed efficiency, the complexity of the post-FFT algorithm often keeps itself from being selected as the countermeasure. Instead, simply constructed pre-FFT smart antenna of which the algorithm is based on the received signal covariance matrix is commonly used and the mathematical modeling of it has been deployed. Computer simulations evaluating the improved BER characteristics of the proposed pre-FFT using the covariance matrix of channel estimator output have been carried out. It has been demonstrated that channel matrix output based smart antenna is superior to that using received signal covariance matrix.

A method for estimating position is AOA, TOA, TDOA, Wi-Fi, Beacon etc. A method for estimating the location in indoor environment is used mainly Wi-Fi, Beacon. The reason is that AOA, TOA and TDOA are unfit to estimate position in indoor environment. To address this problem, this paper presents a AOA algorithm based on AP having a four directional antenna. The algorithm uses only the angle received from the four antennas. This can draw linear equations for signal. And calculate the intersections of the lines. Intersections means the position of user.

In this paper, a P2P Standard Group Formation (P2P-SGF) method in Wi-Fi Direct is presented to provide direct communication services between Internet-of-Things (IoT) gateways. Generally, network traffic congestion and speed reduction problems are caused when transmitting mass data as well as measured data from many sensors between IoT gateways via an Access Point (AP). For solving these problems, it is required to implement Wi-Fi Direct efficiently transmitting mass data between IoT gateways without passing through the AP. The implemented P2P-SGF method basically performs Discovery, GO (Group Owner) Negotiation, WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) Provisioning, and Address Configuration. Especially, it supports the DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) service function for sharing mass data between IoT gateways. Some experimental results verify that it can successfully share large video files.
