The range-free localization using connectivity information has problems of mobile tracking. This paper proposes two Bayesian filter-based mobile tracking algorithms considering a propagation scenario. Kalman and Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) particle filters are applied according to linearity of two measurement models. Measurement models of the Kalman and MCMC particle filter-based algorithms respectively are defined as connectivity between mobiles, information fusion of connectivity information and received signal strength (RSS) from neighbors within one-hop. To perform the accurate simulation, we consider a real indoor map of shopping mall and degree of radio irregularity (DOI) model. According to obstacles between mobiles, we assume two types of DOIs. We show the superiority of the proposed algorithm over existing range-free algorithms through MATLAB simulations.

In the wideband code division access (WCDMA) systems, a pilot channel is used to determine WCDMA network coverage, cell identification, synchronization, timing acquisition and tracking, user-set handoff, channel estimation, and so on. A wireless repeater, which is deployed in the urban area for the WCDMA system to meet the growing demand on wireless communication services, has the possibility to receive several pilot signals from a large number of base stations, however, cannot distinguish its service base station's signal among them. This pilot interference results in frequent handoffs in the user equipment, which degrades the radio reception, transmission efficiency, quality of service, and channel capacity and increases the unwanted power consumption. In this paper, thus, we propose a pilot pollution interference cancellation scheme using one of the adaptive estimation algorithms, normalized least mean square (NLMS), which is applicable to a wireless repeater. We carried out link-level and network-level computer simulations to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme in a wireless repeater. The simulation results verify the bit error rate (BER) improvement in the link level and the call drop probability improvement in the network level.

무선 센서 네트워크 환경에서 사건을 탐지하거나 정보를 추적하는 등의 업무를 수행하기 위해 센서 노드가 있는 곳의 위치를 측정하는 문제는 매우 중요한 문제이다. DV-Hop 알고리즘은 위치를 알 수 없는 미지 노드들이 비콘 노드가 전송한 비콘과 홉거리 정보를 이용하여 센서 노드의 위치를 찾는 방법으로 거리 오차가 크다고 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 비콘 노드와 미지 노드 사이의 통신 반경 측정을 통하여 DV-Hop 알고리즘을 개선하고, MATLAB을 이용하여 개선 알고리즘의 성능을 평가하였다.

We present several distributed algorithms for localizing nodes of a wireless sensor network. Our algorithms determine locations of nodes based on the connectivity between nodes. The basic idea behind our algorithms is to estimate distances between nearby nodes by counting their common neighbors. We analyze the performance of our algorithms experimentally. The results of experiments show that our algorithms achieve performance improvements upon the existing algorithms

The use of Wireless Sensor Networks in many applications require not only efficient network design but also broad aspects of security, military and health care for hospital. Among many applications of WSNs, target tracking is an essential research area in WSNs. We need to track a target quickly as well as find the lost target in WSNs. In this paper, we propose an efficient target tracking method. We also propose an efficient clustering method and algorithm for target tracking.

Steel frame construction in high places entails many risk factors. In order to improve the safety and productivity of steel frame construction, a project to develop a robotic tower-crane has been undertaken. As the first step, a real-time lifting-path tracking system is being developed. In a previous study, a laser-based tracking system was proposed. While a laser-based tracking system requires at least three laser sensors to detect the x, y, z coordinates of a lifted steel member, a GPS-based system has an advantage over the laser-based system, in that the x, y, z coordinates of a lifted steel member can be detected by a single GPS sensor. To improve the accuracy, arelative positioning method using two GPS sensors was proposed in a previous study. This paper reports an improved GPS-based lifting-path tracking system of a tower crane based on an integrated RF modem and GPS system. The results showedthat the RF modem could successfully send the identifier information to a server a maximum distance of 1 km away from the lifted steel beam, and the lifting path information of each beam captured by the GPS-based tracking system was successfully saved together. Also, byusing an improved algorithm for the GPS relative positioning method, the deviation was reduced to 0.61 m on average.

Localization in wireless sensor networks is essential to important network functions such as event detection, geographic routing, and information tracking. Localization is to determine the locations of nodes when node connectivities are given. In this paper, centroid approach known as a distributed algorithm is extended to a centralized algorithm. The centralized algorithm has the advantage of simplicity. but does not have the disadvantage that each unknown node should be in transmission ranges of three fixed nodes at least. The algorithm shows that localization can be formulated to a linear system of equations. We mathematically show that the linear system have a unique solution. The unique solution indicates the locations of unknown nodes are capable of being uniquely determined.

In WSN (Wireless Sensor Networks) based surveillance system, it needs to know the occurrence of events or objects and their locations, because the data have no meaning without location information. Using traditional 2D localization mechanisms provide good accuracy where altitude is fixed. But the mapping the position estimated by 2D localization to the real world can cause an error. Even though 3D localization mechanisms provide better accuracy than 2D localization, they need four reference nodes at least and high processing overhead. In our surveillance system, it is needed to estimate the height of the detected object in order to determine if the object is human. In this paper, we propose a height estimation mechanism which does not require many reference nodes and high complexity. Finally, we verify the performance of our proposed mechanism through various experiments.

This paper proposed the position tracking and recognition method of workers and cars in construction field. The reason why the position of workers and cars has to be tracked is to prevent the safety accident, emergency rescue, and theft of building materials by unauthorized people and car, etc. To realize the tracking, it needs to adopt the Information Telecommunication technology to the construction field as an integrated support system. In this paper, we proposed the continuous positioning tracking algorithm for workers and moving cars using the selected wireless communication network. And we proposed the virtual gateway method to detect the entrance status of moving workers and cars. All of these proposed methods are evaluated in real construction field using the prototype of support system made by ourselves.

RFID는 무선 주파수를 이용해 사물이나 사람에 부착된 태그를 인식하고 태그에 담긴 정보를 주고받을 수 있도록 하는 비(非)접촉식 정보인식기술을 뜻하며 USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network)의 핵심기술로 주목받으면서 다양한 분야에 걸쳐 연구되어 왔다. 기존 RFID와 이동통신 인프라를 융합한 모바일 RFID는 기존의 RFID 시스템과 모바일 네트워크의 장점을 동시에 지닌 개념으로써, RFID를 이용해 보다 다양한 서비스 제공이 가능할 것으로 기대되고 있다[1][2][3]. 2007년, Kim 등은 모바일 RFID 프라이버시 보호기법에 관한 논문을 발표하였다[4]. Kim등은 논문에서 개인 사용자들이 각각 모바일 리더를 소지하고 이를 상품구매 시 이용하는 환경을 가정하고, 이 때 발생할 수 있는 위협과 이에 대한 해결책을 제시하였다. 그러나 주장과는 달리 제안된 기법은 위치추적에 대해 안전하지 못하며 사용자 프라이버시를 보장하지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 Kim등이 제안한 기법을 소개하고 실제 공격이 이루어지는 과정을 통해 제안된 기법의 취약성을 설명한다.
