Despite the increasing popularity of wireless sensor network, indoor positioning using low power IEEE 802.15.4 compliant radio had attracted an interest of many researchers in the last decade. Old fashionable indoor location sensing information has been presented in dull and unpleasant 2D image standard. This paper focused on visualizing high precision 3 dimensional RSSI-based (received signal strength indication) spatial sensing information in an interactive virtual reality on PDA. The developed system operates by capturing and extracting signal strength information at multiple pre-defined reference nodes to provide information in the area of interest, thus updating user's location in 3D indoor virtual map. VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) which specifically developed for 3D objects modeling is utilized to design 3D indoor environment.

In wireless body sensor system(WB-SNSs), unlike existing sensor network system, the size of device is small and amount of battery is considerably limited. And various channel environments can be made by link channel characteristic, human movements, sensor placements, transmission power control(TPC) algorithms and so on. In this paper, therefore we take diverse experiments with totally considerated environments to overcome these restrictions and to manage the energy efficiently and find the value of target received signal strength indicator(RSSI) based on diverse factors such as human movements, sensor placements, and TPC algorithms. And we conduct analysis in terms of energy consumption and packet delivery rate(PDR) based on the experimental results. Through these analysis, we compare and evaluate the efficiency according to setup values of Target RSSI and Target RSSI range suitable for wireless body sensor network system.

This paper addresses quality of experience(QoE) and how to measure and evaluate QoE including its subjective aspects. Adopting the real measurements on the field, a various quality metric have been measured for VoIP(voice over IP) service provided through a wireless interface of WiBro(Wireless Broadband). By analyzing the measured values and correlation between the metrics, we attempt to find a method to evaluate QoE of the VoIP service in a objective way. As a result, it has been shown that QoE of the VoIP service through WiBro network has close relation to the packet-level end-to-end delay, and the delay has close relation to received signal strength indicator(RSSI).

A study on Ontology-based indoor positioning techniques using BLE Beacon. Recently BLE beacon has been widely used as a technique for measuring the indoor location. But it requires a filtering technique for the measurement of the correct position, and uses the most fixed beacon. It is not accurate that calculates the position information through the identification of the beacon signal. Therefore, filtering is important. So it takes a lot of time, position measurement and filtering. Thus, we is to measure the exact position at the indoor using a mobile beacon. The measured beacon signal is composed of an ontology for reuse in the same pattern. RSSI is measured the receiver is the distance of the beacon. And this value configure the location ontology to be normalized by the relationship analysis between the values. The ontology is a method for calculating the position information of the moving beacon. It may be detected fast and accurate indoor position information.

In this paper, we propose two algorithm for improving the performance of wireless localization(Trilateration and Least Square) based on the range based approach method in indoor environment using RSSI for ranging distance. we propose a method to discriminate the case that has relatively large estimation errors in trilateration using Heron''s formula for the volume of a tetrahedron. And we propose the algorithm to process the discriminated types of distance using the absolute value calculated by Heron''s formula. In addition, we propose another algorithm for the case of which the number of anchor nodes larger than three. In this case, Residual Weighting Factor(RWGH) improves the performance of Least Square. However, RWGH requires many number of calculations. In this paper, we propose Iterative Weighted Centroid Algorithm(IWCA) that has better performance and less calculation than RWGH. We show the improvement of performance for two algorithms and the combination of these algorithm by using simulation results.

Currently in the development of community wireless technology is gaining interest in location-based services and as a result, the importance of the location information is a growing trend. To calculate the location information is being suggested several ways, among them Trilateration is representative. Trilateration is three beacon nodes, the distance between the location in which you want to calculate with information. Beacon from a node to know where to get information when the distance between the obstacle and the distance error caused by the surrounding environment, which leads to the exact location can not be obtained. Currently due to distance error, location information has a variety of algorithms to reduce the error. However, a systematic analysis of these algorithms is not progress. This paper analyzes the location-aware technologies, and the error the distance of the location information to reduce errors in the various aspects of the algorithm for the systematic and empirical comparison was evaluated through the analysis.

To find a location, GPS has been wildly used. But, it is hard to use in indoor because of very weak signal level. To meet indoor requirements, there have been many studies applying wireless communication networks such as WLAN, UWB and ZigBee. Among these, ZigBee is widely adopted in many WSN applications because it has an advantage of low-power and low-cost. In ZigBee, the RSSI is used as range measurement for ad-hoc network. The RSSI are converted to ranges using the signal attenuation model and these ranges become inputs of positioning methods. The obtained position with RSSI has large error because of its poor accuracy. To overcome this problem, ultrasonic sensors are added in many researches. By measuring the arrival time difference of ZigBee and ultrasound as a range measurement, the precise position can be found. However, there are still many problems: scheduling of beacons to transmit signals in a correct order, addition and synchronization of beacons and low-rate positioning rate. At this paper, an efficient method to solve these problems is proposed. In the proposed method, a node transmits ZigBee and ultrasound signal simultaneously. And beacons find the range with the received signals and send it back to a node with ZigBee. The position is computed in a node with the received ranges. In addition, a new positioning algorithm to solve the risk of the divergence in the linearization method and the singularity problem in the Savarese method is presented. Both static and dynamic experimental results show 0.02m RMS errors with high output rate.

The mobile service was focused on voice and low rate data service. But recently high data rate service is getting more important, so mobile service operators are providing 1x EV-DO services for high data rate service. Many mobile repeaters were deployed for service coverage, but most of them were deployed when voice and low rate data service were main service. It is necessary to test whether these repeaters are suitable for 1x EV-DO networks for high rate data services. In field test, 1x EV-DO data rates were measured through various repeaters. Some repeaters showed data rates degradation compared with 1x EV-DO AN. The specifications of the repeaters were analyzed. And under the various radio environments such as fading and RSSI, data rates through repeater were tested. These test results will be useful for operation guide of repeaters in high data rate service networks.

In the existing RF communication based WPAN environment, a lowering of battery span and interference problem among sensors occur because the value of output is set and transmitted steadily when the system on sensor is initialized. Therefore, this paper proposes a framework and a transmit method with low power which decreases the electricity consumption by properly controling transmit power of opponent by received signal strength indicator(RSSI) of each sensor. The system proposes a power-lowering method by controling transmit power properly by the transmit intensity of the connected sensor after being affected by the transmit intensity of surrounded sensor. The framework that is proposed in this paper includes data transmit module, transmit power manager module, transmit power searching module, signal transmit module, and signal receiving module.
