Nowadays, indoor localization systems using IEEE 802.11 have been actively explored for location-based services, since GPS cannot identify floors or rooms in buildings. However, the user-side device is usually large and consumes high energy. In this paper, the authors propose a fingerprint-based indoor localization system using IEEE 802.15.4 that allows the use of a small device with a long-life battery, named FILS15.4. A user carries a small transmitter whose signal is received by multiple receivers simultaneously. The received signal strengths are compared with the fingerprints to find the current location. To address signal fluctuations caused by the low-power narrow-band signal, FILS15.4 limits one room as the localization unit, prepares plural fingerprints for each room, and allocates a sufficient number of receivers in the field. For evaluations, extensive experiments were conducted at #2 Engineering Building in Okayama University and confirmed high detection accuracy with sufficient numbers of receivers and fingerprints.
Nowadays, human indoor localization services inside buildings or on underground streets are in strong demand for various location-based services. Since conventional GPS cannot be used, indoor localization systems using wireless technologies have been extensively studied. Previously, we studied a fingerprint-based indoor localization system using IEEE802.15.4 devices, called FILS15.4, to allow use of inexpensive, tiny, and long-life transmitters. However, due to the narrow channel band and the low transmission power, the link quality indicator (LQI) used for fingerprints easily fluctuates by human movements and other uncontrollable factors. To improve the localization accuracy, FILS15.4 restricts the detection granularity to one room in the field, and adopts multiple fingerprints for one room, considering fluctuated signals, where their values must be properly adjusted. In this paper, we present a fingerprint optimization method for finding the proper fingerprint parameters in FILS15.4 by extending the existing one. As the training phase using the measurement LQI, it iteratively changes fingerprint values to maximize the newly defined score function for the room detecting accuracy. Moreover, it automatically increases the number of fingerprints for a room if the accuracy is not sufficient. For evaluations, we applied the proposed method to the measured LQI data using the FILS15.4 testbed system in the no. 2 Engineering Building at Okayama University. The validation results show that it improves the average detection accuracy (at higher than 97%) by automatically increasing the number of fingerprints and optimizing the values.
With the systematization of cyber threats, the variety of intrusion tools and intrusion methods has greatly reduced the cost of attackers' threats to network security. Due to a large number of colleges and universities, teachers and students are highly educated and the Internet access rate is nearly 100%. The social status makes the university network become the main target of threat. The traditional defense method cannot cope with the current complex network attacks. In order to solve this problem, the threat intelligence sharing platform based on various threat intelligence sharing standards is established, which STIX and TAXII It is a widely used sharing standard in various sharing platforms. This paper analyzes the existing standards of STIX and TAXII, improves the STIX and TAXII standards based on the analysis results, and proposes a new type of STIX and TAXII based on the improved results. The standard design scheme of threat intelligence sharing platform suitable for college network environment features. The experimental results show that the threat intelligence sharing platform designed in this paper can be effectively applied to the network environment of colleges and universities.
