의료시설 내에서 이동하고 있는 환자의 위치를 확인하는 것은 환자의 안전을 보장하고 의료서비스 질의 향상을 위해서 중요하다. 기존의 블루투스를 활용한 실내위치확인 시스템에서는 정확도 향상을 위해서 많은 사전 정보와 다수의 장치를 활용해야하는 문제가 있었다. 본 논문에서는 서로 다른 공간에 다른 패턴으로 비콘을 배치하고 동일한 수신신호강도를 갖는 비콘들을 그룹화하여 사전 정보 없이 소규모의 비콘만으로 공간을 인식하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법에서는 인접 패턴간의 간섭을 고려하여 이를 최소화 할 수 있는 패턴 배치 기법을 연구했다. 또한 실험을 통해 제안 기법이 환자 위치 확인 시스템에 적용가능하다는 것을 검증하였다.

Advances in localization-based technologies and the increase in ubiquitous computing have led to a growing interest in location-based applications and services. High accuracy of the position of a wireless device is still a crucial requirement to be satisfied. Firstly, the rapid development of wireless communication technologies has affected the location accuracy of radio monitoring systems employed locally and globally. Secondly, the location is determined using standard complex computing methods and needs a relatively long execution time. In this paper, two geolocalization techniques, based on trigonometric and CORDIC computing processes, are proposed and implemented for Bluetooth-based indoor monitoring applications. Theoretical analysis and simulation results are investigated in terms of accuracy, scalability, and responsiveness. They show that the proposed techniques can locate a target wireless device accurately and are well suited for timing estimation.

An asset tracking using wireless sensor network is concerned with geographical locations of sensor nodes. The limited size of sensor nodes makes them attractable for tracking service, at the same time their size causes power restrictions, limited computation power, and storage restrictions. Due to such constrained capabilities, the wireless sensor network basically assumes the failure of sensor nodes. This causes a set of concerns in designing asset tracking system on wireless sensor network and one of the most critical factors is location uncertainty of sensor nodes. In this paper, we classify the location uncertainty problem in asset tracking system into following cases. First, sensor node isn't read at all because of sensor node failure, leading to misunderstanding that asset is not present. Second, incorrect location is read due to interference of RSSI, providing unreliable location of asset. We implemented and installed our asset tracking system in a real environment and continuously monitored the status of asset and measured error rate of location of sensor nodes. We present experimental results that demonstrate the location uncertainty problem in asset tracking system using wireless sensor network.

Recently in the area of ICT, the M2M and IoT are in the spotlight as a cutting edge technology with the help of advancement of internet. Among those fields, the smart home is the closest area to our daily lives. Smart home has the purpose to lead a user more convenient living in the house with WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) or other short-range communication environments using automated appliances. With an arrival of the age of IoT, this can be described as one axis of a variety of applications as for the M2H (Machine to Home) field in M2M. In this paper, we propose a novel technique for estimating the location of a terminal that freely move within a specified area using the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) in the WLAN environment. In order to perform the location estimation, the Fingerprint and KNN methods are utilized and the LMS with the gradient descent method and the proposed algorithm are also used through the error correction functions for locating the real-time position of a moving user who is keeping a smart terminal. From the estimated location, the nearest fixed devices which are general electric appliances were supposed to work appropriately for self-operating of virtual smart home. Through the experiments, connection and operation success rate, and the performance results are analyzed, presenting the verification results.

A triple-band transceiver module for 2.3/2.5/3.5 GHz mobile WiMAX, IEEE 802.16e, applications is introduced. The suggested transceiver module consists of RFIC, reconfigurable/multi-resonance MIMO antenna, embedded PCB, mobile WiMAX base band, memory and channel selection front-end module. The RFIC is fabricated in $0.13{\mu}m$ RF CMOS process and has 3.5 dB noise figure(NF) of receiver and 1 dBm maximum power of transmitter with 68-pin QFN package, $8{\times}8\;mm^2$ area. The area reduction of transceiver module is achieved by using embedded PCB which decreases area by 9% of the area of transceiver module with normal PCB. The developed triple-band mobile WiMAX transceiver module is tested by performing radio conformance test(RCT) and measuring carrier to interference plus noise ratio (CINR) and received signal strength indication (RSSI) in each 2.3/2.5/3.5 GHz frequency.

최근 스마트 기기의 활용 요구 증가로 인한 실내 위치 인식 시스템 수요가 급증함에 따라, BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy) 비콘을 이용한 실내 측위 시스템이 각광받고 있다. 본 논문은 BLE 비콘 기반에 중심을 두고 RSSI 신호를 이용하여 거시적인 삼변 측량 기법을 이용하여 산출한다. 그 결과값을 근사치 위치에만 Fingerprinting을 적용하여 위치 측위 기본 연산량을 줄임과 동시에 에너지 효율을 증대시킨다. 또한 선정된 Fingerprinting Cell 주위의 노드만을 이용하여 사용자의 단말 위치의 정밀성을 보장하는 정밀 삼변 측량 연산을 수행하여 에너지 효율을 고려한 BLE 핑거프린팅 기반의 정밀 실내 측위 알고리즘을 제안한다.

In learning stage of the preliminary Cut-off indoor positioning scheme, RSSI and UUID data received from beacons at each reference point(RP) are stored in fingerprint map. The fingerprint map and real-time beacon information are compared to identify the nearest K reference points through which the user position is estimated. If the number of K is zero, this scheme cannot estimate user position. We have improved the preliminary Cut-off scheme to get the estimated user position even in the case. The improved scheme excludes the beacon of the weakest signal received by user mobile device and identifies neighborhood reference points using the other beacon information. This procedure are performed repetitively until K > 0. The simulation results confirm that the proposed scheme outperforms K-Nearest-Neighbor (KNN), Cluster KNN and the conventional Cut-off scheme in terms of accuracy while the constraints are guaranteed to be satisfied.

In this paper, IoT(Internet of things) technology, which is the core of the 4th industrial revolution, was applied to the study of reduction of consumption current. The IoT is a sensor that collects data, a sensor communication, a gateway that processes and stores the collected data. Data application of IoT technology is applied to smart home, smart city, healthcare, smart factory, etc. and it needs to be applied to various industrial fields. By sensing the location of the sensor device, the specific functions of the gateway and the platform are turned ON and OFF to reduce the consumption current of the equipment during the OFF period. When the sensor device accesses the gateway, the specific function of the gateway is turned ON and When the device is separated from the gateway, it senses the sensitivity of the wireless signal and automatically turns off the certain functions. As a resurt, it has reduced the consumption of current. In this paper, we propose a novel system for detecting the location of sensor devices by applying IoT technology. The system implementation is realized by software based, and defines the requirements for the implementation of the sensor device gateway. The gateway automatically detects the location, movement of the device and performs necessary functions. Finally verifies the automatic detection performance of the gateway according to the location of the device. It will contribute greatly to the development of the smart city and office.
