Abstract

Indoor location-based services have been developed based on the Internet of Things technologies which measure and analyze users who are moving in their daily lives. These various indoor positioning technologies require separate hardware and have several disadvantages, such as a communication protocol which becomes complicated. Based on the fact that a reduction in signal strength occurs according to the distance due to the physical characteristics of the transmitted signal, RSSI technology that uses the received signal strength of the wireless signal used in this paper measures the strength of the transmitted signal and the intensity of the attenuated received signal and then calculates the distance between a transmitter and a receiver, which requires no separate costs and makes to implement simple measurements. It was applied calculating the value for the average RSSI and the RSSI filtering feedback. Filtering is used to reduce the error of the RSSI values that are measured at long distance.It was confirmed that the RSSI values through the average filtering and the RSSI values measured by setting the coefficient value of the feedback filtering to 0.5 were ranged from -61 dBm to - 52.5 dBm, which shows irregular and high values decrease slightly as much as about -2 dBm to -6 dBm as compared to general measurements.

실내 위치 기반서비스는 일상에서 주로 움직이는 사용자를 대상으로, 측정하고 분석하는 지능형 사물인터넷기술 기반으로 발전되어왔다. 다양한 실내 위치 측위 기술들은 별도의 하드웨어를 필요로 하고 통신 프로토콜이 복잡해지는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서 사용되는 무선 신호의 수신강도를 이용하는 RSSI 기술은 송신 신호의 물리적인 특성상 거리에 따라 신호 세기의 감소가 일어나는 점에 착안하여, 송신 신호의 강도와 수신 신호의 세기를 측정하여 송신기와 수신기 간의 거리를 측정하는 방법으로 별도의 비용이 들지 않고 측정 구현이 간단한 장점을 이용하였다. 측정되는 RSSI 값의 오차를 줄이기 위해 Feedback 필터링에 대한 계산 값을 산출 적용시켰다. 평균 필터링을 통한 RSSI 값과 Feedback 필터링의 계수 값을 0.5로 설정하여 측정한 RSSI 값이 일반적인 측정에 비해 최대 -61dBm에서 최소 -52.5dBm 으로 약 -2dBm에서 -6dBm 정도 감소하는 것을 확인하였다.
