Due to high density of population and progress of high building construction technologies, the number of high buildings has been increasing. Several information services have been provided to figure out complex indoor structures of building such as indoor navigations and indoor map services. The most fundamental information for these services are indoor network information. Indoor network in building provides topological connectivity between spaces unlike geometric information of buildings. In order to make indoor network information, we have to edit network manually or derive network properties based on the geometric data of buildings. This process is not easy for complex buildings. In this paper, we suggest a method to generate indoor network automatically based on crowdsourcing. From the collected individual trajectories, we derive indoor network information with crowdsourcing. We validate our method with a sample set of trajectory data and the result shows that our method is practical if the indoor positioning technology is reasonably accurate.

With 5G standards proceeding in earnest and increasing demand for services of indoor localization, research on indoor location recognition is being studied in various industrial fields, and research based on fingerprint recognition technology using Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is representative. In this paper, we propose an indoor positioning system based on fingerprinting technique that uses Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN) architecture and Channel State Information (CSI). In order to improve the performance in indoor positioning, we combined existing fingerprinting method and K nearest neighbor (KNN) technology which is one of the machine running technique. The performance improvements of the proposed indoor positioning system was verified by comparative experiments with the existing localization technique in a indoor localizztion testbed.

Visible light communication (VLC) is considered to be an attractive scheme to realize the broadband wireless communication for an indoor environment. We present a room division multiplexing (RDM) mechanism for an indoor multi-room VLC network, which utilizes the spatial position of the LED lamp in different rooms as a novel dimension of network resource for multiplexing, and thus the network capacity is increased. In such a network, the service interruption caused by user cross-room movement is an important problem, and we propose a double-area-positioning based cross-room switch solution. An experimental platform demonstrates the RDM-deployed VLC network, and validates the performance of the presented switch mechanism.

Recently, according to developing advanced construction technologies, buildings has been enlarged such as high-rise buildings or complex buildings associated with underground facilities. The number of indoor activity population has increased very quickly. Because of that, technical requirements for Indoor location based service (Indoor LBS) also have been increased. Although indoor networks have to be constructed for efficient LBSs in indoor space based on OGC IndoorGML, it is not suitable for large and complex space to apply the simple network structure to constructing indoor navigation networks. The indoor navigation network has to be constructed according to logical, physical, and functional constraints for indoor space. In order to do that, subspacing methods are required to partition large and complex indoor space into proper size of subspace. In this paper, we proposed the basic requirements of subspacing in indoor space for creating efficient indoor network, as well the work process of subspacing in indoor space.

In this paper, the performance of high data rate-wirelesss personal area network(HDR-WPAN) system is analyzed under multi-path indoor channel. In the analysis, Saleh and Valenzuel channel model is used for the multi-path indoor channel. From the results, HDR-WPAN system has reliability of 10-5 at Eb/No = 18.5dB in multi-path indoor channel. It is a suitable performance for high data rate personal area network applications.

Commercial WiBro and 3G HSDPA services are launched last year in order to provide high speed wireless Internet access and multimedia service. Currently mobile communication service providers concentrate on the deployment of indoor mobile network since indoor traffic is remarkably increased. For fine indoor wireless communication, an installation of access point system via Public IP network which is called Femtocell is required. The development of indoor Femtocell system must be considered in the viewpoint of low hardware complexity, cost reduction, interlocking with WiBro/HSDPA network without change of network component and easy element management. In this paper, we review the implementation issue and technology of dual mode AP which provides WiBro and HSDPA signal to the user simultaneously. Especially, we describe on the HSDPA Femtocell standardization status and possible 3 types of HSDPA communication module development design. Furthermore we analyze the merits and demerits of each HSDPA Femtocell design type and propose a system which enables handover between indoor HSDPA Femtocell and outdoor commercial HSDPA mobile network.

This paper proposes an indoor air Quality monitoring system for measuring various indoor air qualities using IEEE 802.15.4 based wireless sensor network. For indoor air quality monitoring, sensor nodes include carbon monoxide sensor and dust sensor were used. The wireless network by deployed sensor nodes has limited energy, computing, communication capabilities and memory sizes. In this paper, the query process in indoor air quality monitoring was designed to improve the limited sensor node resources such as battery consumption and networking.

This paper proposes a novel indoor positioning system (IPS) that uses a calibrated camera sensor network and dense 3D map information. The proposed IPS information is obtained by generating a bird's-eye image from multiple camera images; thus, our proposed IPS can provide accurate position information when objects (e.g., the mobile robot or pedestrians) are detected from multiple camera views. We evaluate the proposed IPS in a real environment with moving objects in a wireless camera sensor network. The results demonstrate that the proposed IPS can provide accurate position information for moving objects. This can improve the localization performance for mobile robot operation.

The most important criterion for achieving the maximum performance in a wireless mesh network (WMN) is to limit the interference within the network. For this purpose, especially in a multi-radio network, the best option is to use non-overlapping channels among different radios within the same interference range. Previous works that have considered non-overlapping channels in IEEE 802.11a as the basis for performance optimization, have considered the link quality across all channels to be uniform. In this paper, we present a measurement-based study of link quality across all channels in an IEEE 802.11a-based indoor WMN test bed. Our results show that the generalized assumption of uniform performance across all channels does not hold good in practice for an indoor environment and signal quality depends on the geometry around the mesh routers.

In this paper we present 3-D Navigation View, a three-dimensional visualization of indoor environment which serves as an intuitive and unified user interface for our developed indoor location tracking system via Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) in web environment. The extracted user's spatial information from indoor location tracking system was further processed to facilitate the location indication in virtual 3-D indoor environment based on his location in physical world. External Authoring Interface (EAI) provided by VRML enables the integration of interactive 3-D graphics into web and direct communication with the encapsulated Java applet to update position and viewpoint of user periodically in 3-D indoor environment. As any web browser with VRML viewer plug-in is able to run the platform independent 3-D Navigation View, specialized and expensive hardware or software can be disregarded.
