WPS is a system that finds the location of a current moving object through information of a wireless AP. The current location is determined by utilizing the outdoor and indoor AP signal strength characteristics. Even if the map is configured for the first service, the map information of the DB built by the variability of the AP signal cannot be 100% reliable in the case of outdoor. Therefore, various algorithms are needed to increase the accuracy of WPS. This paper proposes a system to increase positioning accuracy by applying various methods to determine the current position of a moving object.

The wireless AP positioning system is under active progress regarding research and commercialization due to its merit of being able to overcome the representing demerits of existing GPS positioning, which are signal distortion and poor signal reception. This system's feature is to collect AP information distributed throughout the real world, store it on database, and execute positioning by comparing with searched AP information. The positioning process uses collected data, whereas comparison of database data uses the fingerprinting method. The fingerprinting method is a probabilistic modeling method that acquires as much of the data collected from one location upon database composition, to store the value's average value and use it in positioning. Yet, using the average value may contain the probability of errors. Such errors are fatal weaknesses for services based on the background of accurate positioning. This paper deals with the characteristics and problems of the previously used wireless AP positioning system, and proposes measures of using AP information for outdoor positioning in order to solve the aforementioned problems.

위치기반서비스에서 사용자의 정확한 위치가 요구되면서 옥내 위치기반서비스를 위한 무선 LAN기반 옥내 측위와 추적에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 AP 신호의 세기를 바탕으로 거리와 신호세기의 관계를 통해 사용자의 위치에서 AP들까지의 거리를 구한 후, Trilateration으로 위치를 추적하는 방법과 EKF 방법을 비교한다. EKF를 이용할 때 필터링에 사용되는 파라메타들의 값에 따라 달라지는 실험 결과들을 비교 분석하여 적절한 파라메타 값을 찾고, 나아가서 파라메타 값을 적절히 적용함으로써 경로의 정확성을 제고하는 방법을 제시한다. 제안하는 방법의 효율성을 실험적으로 증명하기 위한 실험 결과와 분석 내용도 제시한다.

With the development of mobile communications and Internet technology, there is a strong need to provide seamless and fast connectivity for roaming devices. Generally, the mobile host (MH) may have several available networks when entering a new wireless area. However, the standard of decision for user's internet connection is provided only the subsystem identification (SSID) and signal strength of access point (AP). These two standards could not enough to decide optimal AP to the MH. Therefore, to decide the optimal AP, more information is needed. In this paper, we present additional information such as status of MH, capacity, current load, and depth of network hierarchy, by router advertisement message at layer 3. Also, we proposed decision engine (DE) on the MH that analyzes APs and decides the optimal AP automatically by AP's status information. For the MH, wireless connection period is increased, the power consumption is decreased, and the signaling overhead is reduced. For AP and router, the load balancing is provided and the network topology can also be more efficient.

Wireless LAN is a rather mature communication technology that connects mobile terminals. A typical wireless LAN system is composed of one AP and more than one terminals, which is called a BSS. Terminals near to an AP can receive high rate data but terminals far from an AP may not receive data with guaranteed high speed rate because received signal strength is weakened. This paper proposes a method to allow high speed data transmission by grouping terminals and using part of wireless terminals as repeaters. We compare and analyze proposed grouping algorithms based on Depth First Search and Breadth First Search via simulations. A grouping algorithm based on Breadth First Search is shown to be more effective in term of efficiency and coverage.

We investigate the pulsation characteristics in a multi-section DFB laser which is composed of one DFB section, phase tuning section, and gain section. Multi-section DFB lasers with anti-phase (AP) complex-coupled (CC) DFB structure show wide current ranges of gain and phase tuning sections fer stable pulsations compared to those with in-phase CC DFB structure or index-coupled DFB structure. For multi-section DFB lasers with AP CC DFB structure, the current range of a gain section for stable pulsations increases and the tuning range of the pulsation frequency increases as a coupling strength or a gain coupling coefficient increases Also, the tuning range using the phase variation in a phase tuning section increases. For a fixed coupling strength, the current ranges of gain and phase tuning sections for stable pulsations increase and the tuning range of the pulsation frequency increases as the length of a DFB section increases.

IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN has become the center of attention for one of the most dominant wireless networking technologies nowadays. In densely deployed wireless LANs, mobile stations are exposed to a number of AP, thus it is needed to select the best AP to associate with. The most common approach is to select the AP with the highest received signal strength. However it does not consider traffic load imposed to each AP so that it may cause the poor network performance. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a throughput estimation scheme for neighboring APs by sniffing the traffic within 802.11 networks. We devise a tool, named "VirtFrame", which is to estimate the station's capable throughput from neighbor APs based on the channel access time by virtually combining the sniffed frames. Simulation results show that our proposed scheme well matches that there exists correlation between the channel access time and the actual throughput of the APs.

WPS(WiFi Positioning System)는 무선 AP의 정보를 통해 현재 이동 객체의 위치를 찾는 시스템이다. 일반적으로 WPS는 실내외에 존재하는 고정 AP 신호 세기 특징을 활용하여 무선 LAN을 보유한 이동 객체가 현재 자신의 위치를 판단할 때 사용된다. 그러나 지금까지 WPS 기술을 대량의 이동객체를 관리하기 위한 목적으로 활용한 연구는 거의 없다. 본 논문은 스마트폰 환경에서 WPS의 기능과 테더링을 응용하여 대량의 이동객체의 이탈을 판단하기 위한 기법과 이를 확장하여 위치까지 추적할 수 있는 시스템에 대하여 제안한다.

본 논문에서는 2003년 9월, 설문조사를 통해 조사한 국내 무선랜 운영현황의 주요결과를 제시하고 있으며, 무선랜 AP의 비컨 신호의 복조를 통하여 일반 무선랜 이용자에게 운영 채널번호, 수신 신호세기, WEP 설정유무 등의 주변 무선랜 AP 정보를 제공하는 응용 소프트웨어(이하 ‘무선랜 가이더’라 함)를 소개하고 있다. 그리고 서울 도심지역에서 무선랜의 운영현황을 무선랜 가이더를 이용하여 측정하고, 그 결과를 바탕으로 도심지역의 무선랜 운영실태를 조사하였다. 특히, 주변 무선랜 AP의 운영 파악에 유용한 무선랜 가이더는 정보통신부 및 초고속 무선랜 포럼의 홈페이지를 통하여 무료로 배포될 예정으로 있다.

최근 무선 인터넷 기술의 발달과 보급으로 인해 실생활에서도 쉽게 무선 네트워크를 이용한 통신을 할 수 있게 되었다. 무선 네트워크를 이용한 통신을 위해선 통신 망을 유지해 주는 AP(Access Point)가 필수적이다. 이러한 AP를 활용한 AP의 신호 세기를 이용하는 실내 위치 측위 기술은 위치 기반 서비스의 발달과 함께 주목 받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 실내 위치 측위에 많이 사용되는 삼각측량법을 개선하기 위해 다수의 무선 네트워크 인터페이스를 사용한다. 최근에는 하나의 디바이스에 여러 개의 무선 인터페이스가 장착되는 것이 보편화 되었는데 이러한 여러 개의 인터페이스를 활용하여 실내 위치 측위 값을 보정하였다. 실험 결과, 2개의 모듈을 사용할 때의 결과가 1개의 모듈을 사용했을 때 보다 평균 4.9% 좋은 성능을 보였다.
