지하철역사 내 승강장의 무선 인터넷이 ZigBee 무선 센서 네트워크에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구

초록

With increasing use of wireless mobile devices like smartphone and tablet PC, telecommunication companies have been providing the internet service by installing a multitude of access points (AP) in subway stations. Most of these APs use frequency of 2.4 GHz band range and the three telecom providers (SKT, KT, LGT) are using the limited channels within this range without any regulations. The channels within 2.4GHz band are already saturated as the companies are setting up wireless AP even within the subway trains for better service. This can affect other 2.4GHz wireless devices used for other purposes with channel interference, etc. This study has tested and analyzed the effects of the wireless APs installed within the subway stations and trains for the internet service on ZigBee-based sensor network for the intelligent surveillance system of urban transit, which is currently being developed and installed.
