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.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of controlling a communication system including one or more sensors attached to a user, a wireless communication apparatus, and a coordinator. The method of controlling the communication system includes receiving a request for a proxy authority for a proxy between the one or more sensors and the coordinator from the wireless communication apparatus and assigning the proxy authority to the wireless communication apparatus by the coordinator; generating a user identifier corresponding to the user by the wireless communication apparatus; searching for the one or more sensors attached to the user and establishing pairings with the found one or more sensors by the wireless communication apparatus; making a request for association information for an association between the coordinator and the sensors from the found one or more sensors and receiving the association information by the wireless communication apparatus; making a request for an association proxy for an association between the found one or more sensors and the coordinator from the coordinator and receiving the association proxy in response to the request by the wireless communication apparatus; and establishing an association with the found one or more sensors, making a request for data, and receiving the data in response to the request for the data by the coordinator.
Abstract:
A method and device for determining an output of a visible frame in at Visible Light Communication (VLC) device are disclosed. A first VLC device determines whether to permit a second VLC device to generate visible frames, and transmits visible frame information indicating whether to permit the second VLC device to generate the visible frames to the second VLC device.

Abstract:
A 5 th Generation (5G) or pre-5G communication system for supporting higher data transmission rates beyond 4 th Generation (4G) communication systems such as long term evolution (LTE) systems. A method for transmitting download control information in a communication system is provided. The method includes configuring the control information indicating at least one control channel element (CCE) including at least one resource element group (REG) unit interleaved based on the interleaving information indicated by a higher layer signaling; and transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), the configured control information.
Abstract:
Provided herein are communication schemes for combining 5G communication systems with IoT technology to support higher data transmission rate as post-4G systems and systems for the same. The present disclosure may be used in intelligent services (e.g., smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health-care, digital education, retail business, security and safety-related services) based on the 5G communication technology and IoT-related techniques. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for sensing a channel by a base station in a communication system comprises setting a channel sensing interval for sensing a channel available on an unlicensed band, based on a first start time when the base station starts a signal transmission and the set channel sensing interval, setting a second start time when a channel sensing operation starts, and performing the channel sensing operation during the channel sensing interval from the set second start time.
