Outline • Introduction of location-aware systems • RFID technology • LANDMARC approach • LANDMARC system • Some effect and Influence in LANDMARC system • Conclusion • References
location-aware application—three principal technique • Triangulation • uses the geometric properties of triangles to compute object locations. • Lateration : using distance measurements. • Angulation : using primarily angle or bearing measurements • Scene analysis • uses features of a scene observed from a particular vantage point to draw conclusions about the location of the observer or of objects in the scene • Proximity • A proximity location-sensing technique entails determining when an object is “near” a known location.
location-aware system • Outdoor: • GPS(Global Positioning System) • Indoor: • Infrared used diffuse infrared technology • 802.11 RADAR is an RF based system, is not as optimal as desired • Ultrasonic Cricket Location Support System & Active Bat location system, high effective and accurate, and cost is exorbitant
location-aware system • Indoor: • RFID(SpotON use received radio SSI) • 802.15.3/Ultra-wideband • 802.15.4/Zigbee的定位導覽系統
RFID technology Radio Frequency Identification • Reader、Tag(Transponder) Host (主電腦應用系統)、antenna
RFID technology — Reader • RFID Reader 包含: • 與主電腦相連接的介面 RS232 、RS485 、RS422 、Bluetooth 、802.11 • 控制電路、收發模組與收發天線 控制電路包含Microcontroller用來控制 收發模組與收發天線發射RF無線電波對 Tag 進行讀取與寫入的動作
RFID technology — Tag • Transponder
RFID technology —操作原理 • Reader:當主電腦下辨識命令給Reader 時,Reader透過Antenna發射RF無線電波, Tag在偵測範圍內即透過RF機制傳回給Reader,再傳回給電腦進行辨識 • Tag:進入偵測範圍時,其內的Antenna感應到電磁能量後,其RF收發機制感應耦合出電流,再經過電容充電成可用電源(Passive),將資料傳回給Reader
RFID technology —國際標準之缺乏 • 在國際標準方面,因涉及各國之法令、利益及各大廠商之利害關係 • RFID系統中,須標準化的流程有: • Air Interface 與 Data Management 之標準化。 • Reader 與 Host Computer 間之 Interface 。 • 目前RFID的國際標準及組織 • ISO 標準 :ISO 14443大眾運輸票價卡、 ISO 15693門禁卡 • EPC :MIT Auto ID Center 提出的是一個電子產品碼Electronic Product Code (EPC )
LANDMARC approach • LANDMARC( Location Identification based on Dynamic Active RFID Calibration ) • Idea of having extra fixed location reference tags to help location calibration • SSI( signal strength information ) & Power Level( 1-8 in LANDMARC system)
LANDMARC approach • Advantage: • No need for a large number of expensive RFID reader. • Environmental dynamic can easily be accommodated. • Location information is more accurate and reliable.
LANDMARC system • LANDMARC system includes RF Reader, Reference Tag and Tracking Tag. • RF Reader : using IEEE 802.11b wireless network • Reference Tag : Serve as reference points in the system • Tracking Tag / Moving Tag
LANDMARC system setup • System setup—API software (1/2) • Device ( RF readers )setup : Configuring the IP address. • Range : Specify what range for tags is to be scanned. • Time/tag limit per log file : How long and how much tag events recorded, somewhat critical to the configuration in sense of its effect on efficiency.
LANDMARC system setup • System setup—API software (2/2) • Mode( Exception vs. Continuous ) : • Exception mode : The reader will report the tag when it is inside the detected range while it will not report again until the reader realizes the tag has gone out of range. • Continuous mode : The reader will continuously report the tag ID as long as it was in the configured range.
LANDMARC system Methodology • Methodology Suppose : n RF readers m reference tags u tracking tags Readers configured with continuous mode and detection-rang of 1-8
LANDMARC system Methodology Define : Signal Strength Vector of tracking tags Signal Strength Vector of reference tags , denotes the tracking tag, reference tag received on reader i, where
LANDMARC system Methodology Define : Euclidean distance in signal strength between a tracking tag and a reference tag j When there are m reference tags, a tracking tag has its E vector as
LANDMARC system Methodology • The process of locating the unknown tracking tags have three key issues: 1.The placement of the reference tags 2.To determine the number of reference tags in a reference cell k-nearest neighbor algorithm ( =1/k ?) 3.To determine the weights assigned to different neighbors
LANDMARC system • Experimental results and performance evaluation Define the location estimation error e: real coordinates, computed coordinates
LANDMARC system • Effect of the number of nearest neighbors k=2~5 k=4 works the best set k=4 as the value of k
LANDMARC system Cumulative percentile of error distance for k from 2 to 5.
LANDMARC system • Influence of the environmental factors • Time: 10 groups of data from midnight to early morning 10 groups of data from 10:00 Am to 3:00 PM • Tracking Tag placement: Two placement
LANDMARC system Cumulative percentile of error distance in the daytime and at night.
LANDMARC system Cumulative percentile of error distance between two tracking tag placement configurations
LANDMARC system • Effect of the number of readers • More RF readers to deal with non-line of sight (NLOS) which create the multi-path problem. • With more RF readers, more data can be gathered by having extra readers to do the sensing
LANDMARC system Cumulative percentile of error distance for 3 and 4 RF readers.
LANDMARC system • Effect of placement of reference tags • Partition ( or sometimes a person standing) • Placement more reference tags Higher reference tag density lower reference tag density
LANDMARC system • Higher reference tag density
LANDMARC system Cumulative percentile of error distance with a higher reference tag density
LANDMARC system • lower reference tag density
LANDMARC system Cumulative percentile of error distance with a lower reference tag density
Conclusion • Although active RFID is not designed for accurate indoor location sensing, LANDMARC approach does show that active RFID is a viable cost-effective candidate for indoor location sensing. • Three problem : • SSI & Power level • Long latency • Variation of the behavior of tags
