  • A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is a flexible data communication system implemented as an extension to, or as an alternative for, a wired LAN with in a building or campus. However, communications in an indoor environment present problems not encountered in outdoor wireless communication systems. Since cellular type systems are interference limited, the indoor environment is more hostile than the outdoor environment due to the lower propagation constant. In this paper, the equation for the signal to interference ratio in a multistory building will be derived. Knowing the S/I ratio, the floor frequency reuse can be determined. Finally, the simulation in this research is designed to study the performance (BER) of WLAN system in the multistory environment by applying the 8-PSK Trellis Coded modulation technique. The procedure allows a quick evaluation of BER in Wireless LAN system due to the co-channel interference.

  • For improved localization around the indoor/outdoor transit area of buildings, this paper proposes an efficient algorithm combining the measurements from the WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) and the GPS (Global Positioning System) for. The proposed hybrid localization algorithm considers both multipath errors and NLOS (Non-Line-of-Sight) errors, which occur in most wireless localization systems. To detect and isolate multipath errors occurring in GPS measurements, the propose algorithm utilizes conventional multipath test statistics. To convert WLAN signal strength measurements to range estimates in the presence of NLOS errors, a simple and effective calibration algorithm is designed to compute conversion parameters. By selecting and combining the reliable GPS and WLAN measurements, the proposed hybrid localization algorithm provides more accurate location estimates. An experiment result demonstrates the performance of the proposed algorithm.

  • 위치기반서비스에서 사용자의 위치를 확인하고 추적하는 것이 필수적이다. 특히 옥내에서 위치기반서비스를 제공하기 위해 많은 연구자들은 무선 근거리통신망 환경에서 사용자의 옥내 위치추적에 대해 연구를 수행해 오고 있다. 한편, GPS를 이용하는 옥외에서의 위치추 적에는 칼만필터(Kalman filter)가 이용되기도 하였다. 본 연구에서는 오늘날 널리 보급되어 있는 무선 근거리통신망 환경에서 옥내 위치추적에 적용될 수 있는 확장칼만필터 방법을 제안한다. 기존 연구와 본 제안방법을 비교 실험한 결과, 칼만 필터를 사용함으로써 궤적 측정치의 정확도를 제고할 수 있으며, 나아가서 지도정보를 이용함으로써 정확도를 더욱 제고할 수 있음을 보인다.

  • In recent years, there has been a rise in epidemiological evidence suggesting the health benefits of a physically active lifestyle. However, it is not always easy for individuals to personally recognize the optimal conditions for exercise and physical activity. Wearable acceleration-based pedometers have become widely used in estimating the amount of physical activity, and to a limited extent, providing information regarding exercise intensity, but they have never been used to assess adaptation to exercise. In order to realize simultaneous activity monitoring for multiple users exercising outdoors, we developed a prototype wireless local area network (WLAN) based system. In our system, a WLAN is deployed outside, and a user wearing a smart phone and monitoring device exercises freely within the coverage area of the wireless network. By doing so, the developed system is able to monitor the activity of each user andmeasures various parameters including those related to exercise adaptation. In a demonstration experiment, the developed system was evaluated and used to monitor users enjoying a Nordic walk, after which users were immediately able to receive their exercise report. In this paper, we discuss the requirements and issues in developing an activity monitoring system and report the findings we obtained through the demonstration experiment.

  • 유비쿼터스(Ubiquitous) 라는 시대적 흐름에 따라 상황(Context)을 고려한 응용 서비스들에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 이러한 서비스들은 대부분 사용자의 현재 위치 정보를 기반으로 하는 위치 기반 서비스(LBS : Location Based Service)의 형태를 띠고 있다. 현재 GPS(Global Positioning System)나 지상파를 이용한 위치 측정 방법이 널리 사용되고 있으며 보다 효율적이고 정확한 위치 측정을 위한 많은 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 최근에는 실외를 대상으로 하는 서비스뿐만 아니라 홈 서비스, 대형 건물 안내 서비스와 같은 실내를 중심으로 하는 서비스가 각광을 받고 있다. 실외 위치 측정 분야의 경우 이미 많은 상용 제품들이 출시되어 사용되고 있지만 상대적으로 실내의 위치를 알아내는 방법에 있어서는 이렇다 할 성과를 내지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 현재 널리 쓰이고 있는 무선 통신 방법 중 하나인 무선랜을 이용한 실내 위치 측위 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 지금까지 연구되어져 온 대표적인 두 가지 실내 위치 측위 방법론과 이들에 대한 장단점을 분석하고 실제 구축된 시스템을 사례로 구체적인 시스템 구축 방법 및 실험 결과를 제시하였다 또한 기존 시스템의 위치 정확도를 향상시키고 연산 속도를 개선시키기 위한 몇 가지 새로운 방안을 제시하였다.

  • Fingerprint positioning is a main stream and key technique for seamless positioning systems. In this paper, we develop a performance evaluation testbed for fingerprint based Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) positioning system. The testbed consists of positioning server, positioning terminal, Access Point (AP) units, positioning accuracy analysis system and testing scenarios. Different from other testbeds tended to focus on testing in same situation, in the proposed testbed, a couple of scenarios are set to test the positioning system including indoor and outdoor environments. Handset-side positioning mode and network-side positioning mode are provided simultaneously. Variety of motion models, such as static model, low-speed model and high-speed model are considered as well as different positioning algorithms. Finally, some implementation cases are analyzed to verify the credibility of the testbed.
