摘要:
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.
摘要:
A method and device for determining an output of a visible frame in at Visible Light Communication (VLC) device are provided. A first VLC device determines whether to permit a second VLC device to generate visible frames, and transmits, to the second VLC device, visible frame information indicating whether the second VLC device is permitted to generate the visible frames.

A method and apparatus are provided for outputting a visibility frame for a communication link connection during a communication link release in a Visible Light Communication (VLC) system. A transmitting-side VLC device determines a visibility frame output type according to a communication mode to be performed. The communication mode and the visibility frame output type are transmitted to a receiving-side VLC device. The receiving-side VLC device is communicated with according to the communication mode and it is determined whether a communication link is released while performing communication according to the communication mode. When the communication link is released, outputting a visibility frame according to the visibility frame output type.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for allocating resources of a Visible Light Communication (VLC) terminal in a VLC system. The VLC terminal receives a beacon message from a base station, coordinates time synchronization with the base station, searches for an available wavelength channel, constructs available wavelength channel information, and transmits an initial access request using a basic time slot channel and a basic wavelength channel. The base station considers the available wavelength channel information and a current channel allocation condition, allocates an appropriate channel, and transmits channel allocation information to the VLC terminal. The VLC terminal and the base station communicate data with each other using an allocated time slot channel included in the channel allocation information and an allocated wavelength channel included in the channel allocation information.
摘要:
A method and an apparatus are provided for guaranteeing terminal mobility in a time division visible light communication system. In resource assignment in a position where the visible light communication terminal changes a cell, the terminal is assigned a resource to be used in a next cell in a cell boundary area from a communication coordinator, thereby guaranteeing the continuous mobility. The visible light communication system informs the terminal of cell boundary notice information for easily informing the terminal of the cell definition so that the terminal can recognize that the terminal is currently located in the cell boundary and is necessary to change the resource.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for identifying location information by using visible light communication and a GPS (Global Positioning System). The apparatus includes: a GPS signal processor for receiving a GPS signal, and identifying location information; a visible light signal processor for receiving a visible light signal, and identifying location information; a GPS/visible light selector for identifying strengths of signals provided by the GPS signal processor and the visible light signal processor, and controlling an operation of the GPS signal processor and an operation of the visible light signal processor; and a location information output unit for outputting the at least one location information provided by the GPS signal processor and the visible light signal processor.

摘要:
A method and apparatus for supporting mobility of a mobile terminal in a Visible Light Communication (VLC) system. The method includes searching, by the VLC device, for a first mobile terminal in a plurality of cells; locating the first mobile terminal in a first cell among the plurality of cells; exchanging data with the first mobile using a light source of the first cell; determining whether a response signal corresponding to data reception is received from the first mobile terminal in the first cell; searching for the first mobile terminal in a neighboring cell of the first cell, if the response signal is not received; and determining the neighboring cell as a second cell for visible light activation, if the first mobile terminal is located in the neighboring cell.
