Abstract

The indoor location based service proposed in the study was assigned to target a moving user. Positioning in the outdoor environment is accurate while using GPS. However, in an indoor environment, positioning is inaccurate and difficult. In order to overcome this, studies of various techniques for positioning based on wireless communication such as Wi-Fi, Zigbee and Bluetooth are being performed. The RSSI value and the delivery signal of the bluetooth beacon are measured according to the distance, and to a database. It was applied calculating the value for the average RSSI and the RSSI filtering feedback. Filtering is used to reduce the error of the RSSI values that are measured at long distance. When average and feedback filtering coefficient are set with 0.5, irregular and highly RSSI values are decreased. As the distance increases, the range of error is confirmed to have a reduction when using a distance calculation correction algorithm. Finally, when using the RSSI measurement results filtering, it corrects an unstable signal. Also, the distance correction algorithm is used to reduce a range of errors.

본 논문에서 제안하는 실내 위치기반서비스는 움직이는 사용자를 대상으로 하였다. 실외환경에서 GPS를 이용한 위치 측위는 정확하지만 실내 환경에서는 위치 측위가 부정확하고 어려움이 있다. 이를 극복하기 위해 Wi-Fi, Zigbee, 블루투스 등의 무선 통신 기술을 기반으로 위치 측위를 위한 다양한 기술들의 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 비콘의 송출 신호인 RSSI 값을 이용하여 거리에 따른 RSSI 값을 측정하여 데이터 베이스화하였다. 원거리에서 측정되는 RSSI 값의 오차를 줄이기 위해 RSSI 평균 필터링과 RSSI Feedback 필터링에 대한 계산 값을 산출 적용하였다. 평균 필터링과 계수 값을 0.5로 설정한 Feedback 필터링을 통하여 불규칙하고 높은 RSSI 값이 다소 감소하는 것을 확인하였으며, 거리계산 보정 알고리즘을 통해 거리가 증가함에 따른 오차의 범위가 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 최종적으로 RSSI 측정결과 필터링을 이용해 불안정한 신호를 보정하고 오차 범위를 줄이기 위해 거리계산 보정 알고리즘을 시행하였다.
