현재 측위에 대한 측정 대상이 점점 작아지면서, 그에 따른 정확도 까지 높아지고 있다. 실내 측위에 관한 기술은 대표적으로 단말기의 수신신호의 세기방식인 RSS(Received Signal Strength), 수신신호의 도달시간 방식 TOA(Time of Arrival), 수신 신호의 도달 시간차 방식 TDOA(Time Difference of Arrival), 수신신호의 입사각 방식인 AOA(Angle of Arrival) 등 여러 가지 기술이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문은 특수 장비를 사용하지 않고, 무선 네트워크 기반의 실내 측위 중에 정확도가 높은 Fingerprinting 방법을 택하였다. WLAN 기반 실내측위에 가장 많이 사용되는 KNN은 k개의 이웃수와 RP의 수에 따라 민감하다. 본 논문에서는 KNN 성능을 향상 시키기 위해 SVM 이용하여 SNR 데이터를 군집화를 적용한 KNN과 SVM을 혼합한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 신호잡음비 데이터를 KNN 방법에 적용하여 k개의 RP를 선택한 후 선택된 RP의 신호잡음비를 SVM에 적용하여 k개의 RP를 군집하여 분류한다. 실험 결과 위치 오차가 2m이내에 KNN/SVM 혼합 알고리즘이 KNN 알고리즘보다 성능이 우수하다.

TDOA(time delay of arrival) position estimate from acoustic measurement of artillery shell impact is studied in order to develop a targeting evaluation system. Impact position is calculated from the intersections of hyperbolic estimates based on the least square Taylor series method. The mathematical process of Taylor series estimation is known to be robust. However, the concern lays with the accuracy because it is sensitive to the bias caused by the randomness of measurement situation. The measurement error typically occurs from the distortion of waveform, change of travelling path, and sensor position error. For outdoor measurement, a consideration should be made on the atmospheric condition such as temperature and wind which can possibly change the trajectories of rays of sound. It produces wrong propagation time events accordingly. Ray tracing and optimization techniques are introduced in this study to minimize the bias induced by the ray of sound. The numerical simulation shows that the atmospheric correction improves the estimation accuracy.

Together with the GPS-based approach, geolocation through mobile communication networks is a key technology for location-based service. Since the Mobile WiMAX system is considered as a candidate for fourth-generation mobile systems, it is important to investigate its location capability. The geolocation of Mobile WiMAX can be realized when the preamble symbols in the down-link channel are appropriately used for a TDOA (Time-Difference-of-Arrival) approach. However, the cellular structure of Mobile WiMAX inevitably generates co-channel interference, and it is difficult for the mobile terminal to acquire distance measurements from multiple base stations. Therefore, for geolocation via multilateration using the Mobile WiMAX network, it is very important to increase hearability. This paper proposes a geolocation method for Mobile WiMAX which employs interference cancellation and preamble signal overlapping for the enhancement of hearability. A novel interference cancellation strategy for complex-valued Mobile WiMAX signals is presented which has an iterative structure. Simulation results show that the proposed geolocation method provides the user's position with an accuracy of less than 20 m through the Mobile WiMAX cellular network if there is no multi-path or NLOS (None-Line-of-Sight).
