3 and 4, the mobile terminal 200 sequentially scans channels of received signals (Ch A1 → Ch A2 → Ch A3 → Ch A4) to detect RSSI of each channel (S401). The RSSI of the channel is compared to determine the channel with the largest RSSI (S402).
Next, after repeating S401 and S402 for a predetermined number of times (for example, ten times) (S403), it is determined whether the channel having the largest RSSI is the same for the set number of times (S404).
As a result of the determination in S404, if the channel having the largest RSSI is the same for a predetermined number of times, authentication information of the terminal is transmitted to the

As described above, according to the present embodiment, a channel having the largest RSSI among the plurality of gateways is detected to determine a gateway located closest to the portable terminal, and the authentication information of the portable terminal is transmitted through a transmission / reception channel of the corresponding gateway.

3 and 5, S501 to S505 identify a gateway closest to the mobile terminal, which is the same as S401 to S405 illustrated in FIG. 4. That is, the mobile terminal 200 sequentially scans the channels of the received signals at predetermined intervals (Ch A1-> Ch A2-> Ch A3-> Ch A4), detects RSSI of each channel (S501), and compares the detected RSSIs. The RSSI determines the channel Ch A2 of the largest signal (S502), and then repeats the channel determination process (S501 and S502) for a predetermined number of times (S503). It is determined whether the channel with the largest RSSI is the same for a predetermined number of times (S504). If the RSSI is the same, the authentication information of the mobile terminal is transmitted to the

The gateway of is determined as the nearest gateway (S507).
Next, it is determined whether the gateway determined in S507 is the same as the gateway that last transmitted the location information (S508).
As a result of the determination in S508, if it is not the same, the authentication information of the mobile terminal is transmitted to the corresponding gateway (S509). If it is determined that the same, it is determined whether the same gateway is repeated a predetermined number of times (S510).
As a result of the determination of S510, if the same gate is repeated more than a predetermined number of times, the authentication information of the portable terminal is retransmitted to the corresponding gateway (S509), otherwise, the channel scan process is performed again (S506). That is, if the gateway that has transmitted the signal with the largest RSSI is the same as the existing one, the authentication information of the portable terminal is transmitted when a new gateway is searched without transmitting the authentication information of the portable terminal. This is to reduce the load on the transmission / reception channel of the gateway by not transmitting the signal of the mobile terminal to the gateway for a predetermined number of times when the mobile terminal stays in the existing location. In addition, if the same gateway is continuously searched for a predetermined number of times or more, the authentication information of the mobile terminal is retransmitted to the corresponding gateway to determine whether the mobile terminal is turned off (power off), or where the mobile terminal does not receive a gateway signal (for example, Allow the central server to determine if the gateway has moved to a location where no gateway has been deployed.
