Abstract

This paper introduces Zigbee based ubiquitous service. Most of ubiquitous services require the position information. Positioning algorithms utilize the transmission characteristics of the signal. Zigbee based positioning researches have been conducted mainly for the spatial factors inside the building. This paper proposes the possibility to consider the temporal factors of Zigbee signal and analyzes empirically the signal characteristics influenced according to the temporal factors as well as the spatial factors for ubiquitous services based on Zigbee sensor network.
