For any pattern matching based algorithm in WLAN environment, the characteristics of signal to noise ratio(SNR) to multiple access points(APs) are utilized to establish database in the training phase, and in the estimation phase, the actual two dimensional coordinates of mobile unit(MU) are estimated based on the comparison between the new recorded SNR and fingerprints stored in database. As fingerprinting method, k-nearest neighbor(KNN) has been widely applied for indoor location in wireless location area networks(WLAN), but its performance is sensitive to number of neighbors k and positions of reference points(RPs). So intuitive fuzzy c-means(IFCM) clustering algorithm is applied to improve KNN, which is the KNN/IFCM hybrid algorithm presented in this paper. In the proposed algorithm, through KNN, k RPs are firstly chosen as the data samples of IFCM based on signal to noise ratio(SNR). Then, the k RPs are classified into different clusters through IFCM based on SNR. Experimental results indicate that the proposed KNN/IFCM hybrid algorithm generally outperforms KNN, KNN/FCM, KNN/PFCM algorithm when the locations error is less than 2m.

One of the major issues in current on-demand routing protocols for ad hoc networks is the high resource consumed by route discovery traffic. In these protocols, flooding is typically used by the source to broadcast a route request (RREQ) packet in search of a route to the destination. Such network-wide flooding potentially disturbs many nodes unnecessarily by querying more nodes than is actually necessary, leading to rapid exhaustion of valuable network resources such as wireless bandwidth and battery power. In this paper, a simple optimization technique for efficient route discovery is proposed. The technique proposed herein is location-based and can be used in conjunction with the existing Location-Aided Routing (LAR) scheme to further reduce the route discovery overhead. A unique feature of our technique not found in LAR and most other protocols is the selective use of unicast instead of broadcast for route request/query transmission made possible by a novel reuse of routing and location information. We refer to this new optimization as the UNIQUE (UNIcast QUEry) technique. This paper studies the efficacy of UNIQUE by applying it to the route discovery of the Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol. In addition, a comparative study is made with a DSR protocol optimized with only LAR. The results show that UNIQUE could further reduce the overall routing overhead by as much as 58% under highly mobile conditions. With less congestion caused by routing traffic, the data packet delivery performance also improves in terms of end-to-end delay and the number of data packets successfully delivered to their destinations.

As the scale of transfer center becomes gradually large, transfer information service considering convenience of users in motion in a large transfer center is required. This service provides moving users with information through individual portable terminals such as mobile phone or, smart phone which are capable of wireless communication. In particular, technology of measuring indoor location using Wi-Fi is in a stage of commercial practice and indoor/outdoor location-base transfer information service is possible through smart phones with built-in GPS and Wi-Fi. In this study, we suggest information services that support transfer activities based on the locations of visitors inside transfer centers. This study also suggests the logical and physical architectures, and physical components required for the flow of information as well as the target connected standardized information for connecting destinations of each proposed draft standards.

AMobile-supported spatial database systems have been introduced with development of mobile computing technology, they offer an advantage that we can access the data wherever we are. However, the studies on database system in traditional distributed environments must be reconsidered again, because of characteristics of mobile database system such as mobility and instability of wireless network. A new transaction model should be required for considering the characteristics, since especially a mobile computing environment is location-dependent, compared with the location transparency in a distributed computing environment. In other aspect, normally mobile host may be moving not in all space, but in some limited path. That is, a host is moving along the roads or the geographical features adjacent to the roads. The transaction processing should be considered not on the spatial coordinate but on the geographical features. In this paper, the feature based transaction processing model is proposed to process location-dependent transaction efficiently.

Recently, NFC technology of short-range wireless communication using a smart phone to perform personal authentication with the electronic payment has been in the spotlight in various fields. However, the security associated with the personal information and the location information is vulnerable because it is easily fused with the existing mobile services and devices. In this paper, we propose a model for NFC payments help protect personal information and location information of NFC payment systems and services in various fields. Proposed model uses tag-based services in order to protect personal information and position information. The proposed model using the tag-based services is the place to check the various features available information in a simple Tag that can be easily accessed.

As mobile devices have become widely popular, users want to use devices not only wireless but also mobile. Mobile IP is used to support mobility on TCP/IP network. In mobile IP, when a terminal changes location, the terminal requests a registration to Home Agent through Foreign Agent in new location. After the request is accepted by Home Agent, the terminal can use network again. We call this process as handoff. In mobile n, handoff provokes loss of data packets and network delay. In this paper, we describe the implementation of pre-registration which is a solution of the handoff problems. Pre-registration improves the traditional handoff mechanism by requesting registration through current FA before location change. This muchanism can decrease packet loss and network delay.

In autonomous navigation of a mobile vehicle or a mobile robot, localization calculated from recognizing its environment is most important factor. Generally, we can determine position and pose of a camera equipped mobile vehicle or mobile robot using INS and GPS but, in this case, we must use enough known ground landmark for accurate localization. hi contrast with homography method to calculate position and pose of a camera by only using the relation of two dimensional feature point between two frames, in this paper, we propose a method to calculate the position and the pose of a camera using relation between the location to predict through perspective transform of 3D feature points obtained by overlaying 3D model with previous frame using GPS and INS input and the location of corresponding feature point calculated using KLT tracking method in current frame. For the purpose of the performance evaluation, we use wireless-controlled vehicle mounted CCD camera, GPS and INS, and performed the test to calculate the location and the rotation angle of the camera with the video sequence stream obtained at 15Hz frame rate.

This paper relates to an IoT device system that detects sound source and estimates the sound source location. More specifically, it is a system using a sound source direction detection device that can accurately detect the direction of a sound source by analyzing the difference of arrival time of a sound source signal collected from microphone sensors, and track the generation direction of a sound source using an IoT sensor. As a result of a performance test by generating a sound source, it was confirmed that it operates very accurately within 140dB of the acoustic detection area, within 1 second of response time, and within 1° of directional angle resolution. In the future, based on this design plan, we plan to commercialize it by improving the reliability by reflecting the artificial intelligence algorithm through big data analysis.
