A new method for the GPS repeater based indoor positioning is proposed and its feasibility is verified by experiments in previous paper. But the problems how can identify switching GPS repeater's ID and when switching will be occurred are remained. To solve the problem faced with, we propose the time synchronized switching GPS repeater and the methods of the detection of switching time and the estimation of TDOA. First, switching GPS repeater retransmits the signals synchronized on GPS time, sequentially. Always, first switching time is synchronized with 1 PPS. Second, we formulate the detection of switching time and the estimation of TDOA and propose the various methods. No method is existed absolutely superior to others in any conditions but the method is existed superior to others in specific condition. Finally, feasibility of indoor positioning using time-synchronized switching GPS repeater is evaluated through experiments in anechoic chamber and general environment with multipath.

A new method to deal with GPS indoor positioning by means of time synchronized switching GPS repeater has been developed by authors[1]. But the developed indoor positioning system has problems. Therefore, we proposed a method for indoor positioning using GNSS Repeater-Assisted. To solve the 3-dimensional user's position, the 4 or more retransmission antennas are needed in the previously proposed methods. If a GPS repeater periodically transmits the signal like as pseudollite, the information for assisting an acquisition and tracking can be informed to receiver. Then, the user position can be calculated using the induced weak signal. The advantage of the proposed algorithm is use of only 1 re-transmission antenna because the re-transmitted signal are not used for positioning but used for assisting an acquisition and tracking weak signals induced indoor. We analyze the propose algorithms through the experiment and performed the test of feasibility.

In this paper, Zero velocity UPdaTe (ZUPT) is implemented on the navigation system of Remotely Piloted Aircraft for GNSS denied environment. RPA's navigation system suffers from lack or loss of satellite signal while maintenance or ground test inside a hangar. Although some of the hangars install GPS repeaters for indoor tests, the anti-jamming equipment with array antenna blocks the repeater signal regarding them as hostile jamming signal. With ZUPT, an aircraft navigation system can be tested free from the divergence of navigation solution without line-of-sight satellites. The designed ZUPT aided centralized Kalman Filter is implemented on the Embedded GPS&INS and simulated with Captive Flight Test data. The simulation result shows stable navigation solution without GNSS updates.

In this paper, new LBS (location based service) are proposed using conventional DMB (digital multimedia/mobile broadcasting) system. LBS applications are proposed that can be suitable for the subway and ground transportation based on S-DMB (satellite-DMB) and T-DMB (terrestrial-DMB) respectively. In the shaded area such as subway, the broadcasting signal transmitted from the satellite of S-DMB system should be retransmitted by the earth repeater called the gap filler and each gap filler has its own identification value called the gap filler ID which introduces the area in which the gap filler was installed. Therefore, the LBS can be implemented by using the gap filler ID of S-DMB on the subway in which the GPS (global positioning system) can't be received. Unlike the LBS on the subway, the combination of T-DMB and DGPS (differential GPS) will be introduced as a way for ground transportation. Generally, DGPS has been designed to compensate the position value calculated from the GPS signal so that positioning error of about 1 meter can be obtained by using DGPS information. T-DMB system transmitting DGPS signal will be expected to be commercial in Korea and, if using DGPS information transmitted through T-DMB network, LBS with more precise positioning than GPS alone can be implemented in the ground vehicles.

현재 위치기반서비스(LBS : Location Based Service) 를 위해 사용되고 있는 위치측위 방식은 GPS 기반의 측위 방식과 이동통신망을 이용한 네트워크 기반의 측위기술들이 있다. 그러나 GPS 와 네트워크기반의 측위 방식은 비가시선 효과(NLOS) 와 중계기에 의한 전파 지연 발생 때문에 위치측위 정확도가 저하되는 문제점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 현재 CDMA 시스템에서는 패턴매칭(Pattern Matching) 알고리즘을 사용한다. 패턴매칭 알고리즘은 GPS 에 의한 위치측위 시 측정된 RF 신호의 전파 특성을 측위 된 위치와 함께 데이터베이스로 구축하여, 사용자의 측위 요청이 있을 때 수신신호의 전파특성과 데이터베이스를 비교하여 위치를 제공하는 방식이다. 그러나 패턴매칭 알고리즘은 GPS 신호를 수신할 수 없는 음영 지역과 실내 에서는 데이터베이스가 구축되어지지 않는다. 패턴매칭 알고리즘은 데이터베이스의 위치 정보가 위치측위를 요청하는 사용자의 위치를 결정하기 때문에 데이터베이스가 구축이 되지 않는 지역에서는 측위정확도의 오차가 발생하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 현재 CDMA 시스템에서 사용하는 패턴매칭 알고리즘의 위치측위 성능을 분석하고 패턴매칭 알고리즘을 이용한 위치측위 시스템의 성능을 향상시키기 위해서 신호세기 예측 알고리즘을 이용하여 현재 구축이 되지 않은 지역의 데이터베이스를 구축하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안하는 알고리즘으로 데이터베이스가 없는 지역의 신호세기를 예측하여 데이터베이스를 구축한 후 패턴매칭 알고리즘의 위치측위 성능을 분석하였다.
