Abstract

In this paper, we propose and analyze the positioning technique using TH-PPM ultra wideband for indoor environment. We employed AWGN and IEEE 802.15.3a channel as a simulation environment and used to TDOA algorithm. Positioning technique using ultra wideband has high accuracy in indoor environment. From the simulation results, it is analyzed the probability of error and positioning performance for channel effects and confirmed usefulness of the proposed scheme.

본 논문에서는 실내 환경에서 TH-PPM UWB를 이용한 위치인식 기법의 성능을 분석하였다. 실험 환경은 AWGN 및 IEEE 802.15.3a 채널을 사용하였고, 위치인식 기법으로 TDOA를 적용하여 분석하였다. UWB 기반의 위치인식 기술은 실내에서 cm 레벨의 높은 정밀도를 가진다. 모의실험을 통하여 TH-PPM UWB 위치인식 기법의 채널 영향에 대한 오류 확률 및 위치인식 성능에 대해 분석하였고, 제안된 기법의 유용성을 확인하였다.
