Abstract

본 논문에서는 위성 DMB (satellite-digital multimedia broadcasting, S-DMB) 송수신 시스템을 이용한 위치 기반 서비스 (location based services, LBS) 구현 방법에 대하여 제안한다. S-DMB 송출 신호는 2 GHz 대역의 주파수를 사용하므로 직진성은 강하지만 회절성이 약한 특징을 갖고 있다. 따라서 S-DMB 시스템에서는 실내 및 지하 공간 등의 음영 지역이 다수 존재하게 되는데, 이러한 음영지역에서는 갭필러 (gap filler)라는 음영지역 중계기를 통해서 S-DMB 신호를 수신하게 된다. 이러한 갭필러의 식별정보 (gap filler ID)를 확인하면 갭필러가 설치된 지역을 알 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 S-DMB 신호를 수신할 수 있는 단말기에서 S-DMB 파일럿 신호 중 갭필러 식별정보를 이용하여, 관심 위치 정보 등록, 목적지 도착 알림, 및 지역 정보 알림 기능 등의 LBS를 구현하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 LBS 구현 방법의 성능을 검증하기 위한 실험에서는 S-DMB 수신칩이 갭필러 식별정보를 애플리케이션 프로세서 (application processor, AP)로 전달하도록 단말기의 펌웨어 (firmware)를 수정하여 LBS 구현 테스트를 진행하였다. In this paper, the implementation of location based services (LBS) using S-DMB (satellite-digital multimedia broadcasting) system was proposed. In S-DMB System, the frequency of transmitted signal is about 2 GHz which has a characteristics of strong straightness but weak diffraction so that there are many shade areas such as indoors and underground spaces. Therefore the signal transmitted from the satellite should be retransmitted by the earth repeaters called as gap filler. Because each gap filler has its own identification value, the gap filler ID introduces the area in which the gap filler was installed. Generally, the 51st data symbols of S-DMB pilot signal transmitted from the satellite are padded by dummy value and gap filler ID is embedded in this pilot symbol by the gap filler when S-DMB signals are retransmitted by gap fillers. So using gap filler ID of S-DMB system, LBS such as region registration, distance and time to destination, alarm of local area information could be implemented. In the experiment to prove the performance of the proposed LBS system using the gap filler ID of the S-DMB system, the firmware of S-DMB chip composing of RF and baseband parts was lightly modified so that application processor was able to manipulate the gap filler ID and the its related regional information.
