Abstract:
A method and a lighting device for providing a Location Based Service (LBS) service providing a Location Based Service (LBS) based on Visible Light Communication (VLC) is provided. The method includes receiving, by at least one light source, data from a coordinator, the data including identification information of the at least one light source that corresponds to location information of the at least one light source, which is used by a terminal to identify a location of the at least one light source; and transmitting, by the at least one light source, the data to the terminal in a VLC signal.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for supporting mobility of a mobile terminal in a Visible Light Communication (VLC) system. The method includes activating only necessary light sources for VLC considering the mobility of the mobile terminal, instead of using total light sources for VLC. Consequently, power consumption can be significantly reduced.
