Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has a significant attraction throughout various industry sites, along with the development of wireless communication technologies. The typical applications of RFID include medical, logistics, and distribution, and, specially, it is effectively applied to non-contact environments, because it employs radio waves. Although, recently, construction cases of the RFID management systems for the inventory management of the construction materials have been increased, the related researches and experiments for the reused materials are not actively performed. In this paper, we propose the RFID system with the localization function for effectively managing the reuse of the construction materials, adding to the conventional inventory management system. The proposed system consists of a RFID reader unit and a receiver unit, and the location information of the material with the attached RFID tag is obtained by estimating the position of a RFID reader. The distance value for estimating the reader position is calculated using the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value of Zigbee, and the performance evaluation of the proposed system is performed in the indoor space of $5m{\times}5m$.

This paper researches the estimating location using repeater effect adjustment method in CDMA based system. Repeaters are commonly used by commercial and amateur radio operators to extend signals in the radio frequency range from one receiver to another. The repeater signals are increasing arrival time from base station to mobile station. So if we calculates the mobile station using repeater signals, the estimating position error is increased. However nobody researched about adjusting repeater effects. This paper proposes repeater effect adjustment algorithm. For adjusting repeater effects, we make the triangle using mobile station, reference base station and neighbor base station, and then detect the repeater effects using the triangle characteristic. The proposed method system showed the improved performance in estimating parameters and locating positions by computer simulations.

Smartphone-based localization has been widely studied in many different scenarios. But as far as we know, few work has addressed the problem of localization in underground public transportation systems, where GPS signal and wireless infrastructure are not always available. Knowing the location of a train is necessary to develop a useful service for subway passengers. And so, estimation of motion state and stop station by using sensors on a smartphone is being studied for subway passengers. This paper proposes a localization method that uses a barometer and a magnetic sensor on a smartphone. The method proposed in this paper first estimates whether the train runs or stops according to the change in air pressure and the strength of the magnetic field. The altitude value and the magnetic field value are then used to estimate the exact stop station of the train. We evaluated the proposed method using data from the Seoul's subway line 5. Compared with previous methods, the proposed method achieves higher accuracy.

Recently, mobile devices were increased and there was a sharp rise in demand. To exploit the location information of each device, many researcher was studying locating systems. The favorite locating or positioning systems were a GPS using satellites and a RTLS using wireless communication between devices. If some obstacle existed nearby the target device, The system have difference of performance. The obstacles near targets were caused signal disconnection and reflection because of NLOS condition. As the result, the NLOS condition degrade the locating performance. In this paper, we propose a locating system which is cooperated two systems using information reliability estimates from LOS/NLOS condition. We developed proposed system. In addition, we performed fields test and simulation tests at various environment for performance evaluation. As the result, the test showed 97% success rate to estimate NLOS condition. Furthermore, the simulation result of our locating system was increased to 89% compared with a single system.

In the IEEE 802.15.4a system, they require simple, economical and low power consumption transmitter and receiver to transmit low rate data and to identify distance and location. To meet these requirements, LR-WPAN system use transmitter and receiver with simple modulation and demodulation scheme. In this paper, use PPM+BPSK modulation and windowing scheme to overcome multipath fading effect. Then we apply this channel estimation scheme to LR-WPAN system and compare performance depends on transmitter scheme. Proposed method using preamble to find channel characteristic out and we compensate distorted data with that information. Therefore we can detect signal easily at the demodulation part. Simulation result shows that performance evaluation is greater at the NLOS channel than LOS channel no matter what the receiver scheme.

In recent years, mobile communication service is used extensively as a larger service area for the maintenance of quality of service required by the expansion of service areas and As the ever-increasing role in relays, and the location is relatively easy to install and less constrained costs, operating cost savings in terms of ICS(Interference Cancellation System) repeaters are required. However, an adaptive algorithm that is applied when updating the filter due to the increase in volume of operations increase the complexity of hardware implementation is fraught with many difficulties. In this paper, if there is a path that feedback. ICS repeater utilizing baseband signal processing for the removal of interfering signals from the feedback operation, significantly reducing the amount of reducing hardware complexity Complex Singed Signed LMS adaption algorithm is proposed. Proposed algorithm for evaluating the performance of Static channel WCDMA signal environment for the ICS, the results of the simulation algorithm, convergence speed and better performance in therms of convergence errors that are required through the implementation of the operation greatly reduces the amount of hardware complexity able to reduce the effect was visible.
