GPS is not able to be used for indoor positioning and currently most of techniques emerging to overcome the limit of GPS utilize private wireless networks. However, these methods require high costs for installation and maintenance, and they are inappropriate to be used in the place where precise positioning is needed as in indoor parking lots. This paper proposes a vehicular indoor positioning method based on QR-code recognition. The method gets an absolute coordinate through QR-code scanning, and obtain the location (an relative coordinate) of a black-box camera using the tilt and roll angle correction through affine transformation, scale transformation, and trigonometric function. Using these information of an absolute coordinate and an relative one, the precise position of a car is estimated. As a result, average error of 13.79cm is achieved and it corresponds to just 27.6% error rate in contrast to 50cm error of the recent technique based on wireless networks.

One of the objectives of research on routing methods in wireless sensor networks is maximizing the energy life of sensor nodes that have limited energy. In this study, we tried to even energy use in a wireless sensor network by giving a weight to the transition probability of ACS(Ant Colony System), which is commonly used to find the optimal path, based on the amount of energy in a sensor and the distance of the sensor from the sink. The proposed method showed improvement by 46.80% on the average in energy utility in comparison with representative routing method GPSR (Greedy Perimeter Stateless Routing), and its residual energy after operation for a specific length of time was 6.7% more on the average than that in ACS.

The positioning system based on wireless AP collects AP information distributed in the real world, stores it into database, and measures the position objects by comparing with searched AP information. The existing fingerprinting method is a probabilistic modeling method that acquires much of the data collected from one location upon database composition, and stores the average of the data for the sake of use it in positioning objects. Using the average value, however, may cause the probability of errors Such errors are fatal weaknesses for services based on the accurate position. This paper described the characteristics and problems of the previously used wireless AP positioning system, and proposed a method of using the AP DB and an MSS mechanism for outdoor positioning in order to solve the aforementioned problems. And the results obtained from experimental tests showed that the proposed method achieved very low error rate(27%) compared with the existing method.

In the airport, digital signage is used to provide the flight-related information for the passengers. Because the current digital signage is based on wired networking or storage medium, its use is limited in terms of the location and the usage of the digital signage. In order to overcome these limitation, we present a WiBro-based digital signage for the wireless broadband networking and the mobility of the digital signage. We perform comparative experiments with the WiBro-based digital signage and WLAN-based digital signage under various locations, datarate, advertisement contents. The experimental results showed that the WiBro-based digital signage is preferred when the mobility is required, while the WLAN-based digital signage has advantage in datarate.

In this paper, we implemented an wireless remote control and monitoring system by using Globalstar satellite modem. This system is composed of the data terminal equipment of Globalstar data communication system using microcontroller, C8051F023, and WGIS(Web-based GIS) user program. We tested the wireless remote control and monitoring system with data terminal equipment and user program how to work properly, and verified that the user could confirm the data from the data terminal equipment, which can provide the status of input/output devices and the information of location with the main and control dialog by GIS(Geographic Information System) program. For data communication of between data terminal equipment and user program, we programed PPP and TCP/IP protocol to communicate with each other. Some GIS tools used in this program are ArcView and MapObject from ESRI to offer various visual mapping information to the user.

In this paper, a capsule body shaped surveillance/monitoring device is developed. The device includes a camera and GPS module to transmit live video data and real time GPS coordinates respectively using the Intel Edison module. A control application is developed for the smart phones and tablets to wirelessly view the live video stream and location of the capsule device and also to switch between the multiple capsule devices installed at different locations. The coordination between the developed device and the smart phone / tablet is done using the wireless function of the Intel Edison module.

This paper addresses issues to efficiently collect and aggregate data of sources within a local and adjacent region in geographic routing for wireless sensor networks. We first introduce the concept of a local sink which collects and aggregates data form source nodes in the region and delivers the aggregated data to a global sink. We also design a model to determine an optimal location of the local sink and propose a mechanism to collect data through the local sink. Simulation results show that the proposed mechanism with the local sink is more efficient in terms of the energy and the data delivery ratio than the existing mechanism without the local sink in a geographic routing.

In this paper, two-dimensional resonant transmitter and receiver for WPT is designed and implemented using method that use $90^{\circ}$ phase shifted input power to orthogonal transmitter. Mutual inductance is minimized by using proposed each orthogonal coil of receiver and the method that inputs $90^{\circ}$ phase shifted power is used to radiate magnetic energy into two dimension. This method facilitates two dimensional resonant WPT by solving power efficiency degradation problem according to location in general WPT. The resonance frequency is 6.78 MHz and the distance between transmitting and receiving resonator is 200 mm. The transfer efficiency of the proposed wireless power transfer system is higher than 40 % at all direction.

In wireless sensor networks, the geographical positioning scheme is one of core technologies for sensor applications such as disaster monitoring and environment monitoring. For this reason, studies on range-free positioning schemes have been actively progressing. The density probability scheme based on central limit theorem and normal distribution was proposed to improve the location accuracy in non-uniform sensor network environments. The density probability scheme measures the final positions of unknown nodes by estimating distance through the sensor node communication. However, it has a problem that all of the neighboring nodes have the same 1-hop distance. In this paper, we propose an efficient sensor positioning scheme that overcomes this problem. The proposed scheme performs the second positioning step through the sensing range control after estimating the 1-hop distance of each node in order to minimize the estimation error. Our experimental results show that our proposed scheme improves the accuracy of sensor positioning by about 9% over the density probability scheme and by about 48% over the DV-HOP scheme.

WPS(Wifi Positioning System) conducts positioning using wireless signals scattered in real world. This process is divided into two stages: Construction Stage that collects information on wireless signals for determining location and constructs a radio map and Positioning Stage that compares the constructed information with the collected information on wireless signals. WPS lowers the accuracy of positioning if changes occur to the collected signals during positioning. PDR have recently been studied. IPS is a system designed to find out the final destination by analyzing pedestrian's no. of gait, travel range, and direction through inertial sensors. If the positioning results of WPS appear in more than two locations, it can be thought as the problem of positioning accuracy. In some cases, problems occur. In this respect, this study analyzes the situations in which the problem as mentioned above occurs and proposes a system to solve this problem through PDR.
