Patent number: 9780873Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing light-based communication (LCom) between a receiver device and one or more transmitting LCom-enabled luminaires. In accordance with some embodiments, LCom data to be transmitted may be allocated over multiple colors of light output by multiple LCom-enabled luminaires and transmitted in parallel across the multiple colors of light using a time division multiple access (TDMA) scheme. In some cases, the disclosed techniques can be used, for example, to allow for multiple LCom-enabled luminaires to communicate simultaneously over multiple active LCom channels with a single receiver device. In some instances, the disclosed techniques may be used, for example, to provide channel redundancy that facilitates successful completion of LCom data transmission when an LCom channel is broken. In some instances, the disclosed techniques may be used, for example, to provide more accurate positioning for indoor navigation.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2014Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: OSRAM SYLVANIA Inc.Inventors: Christian Breuer, Anant Aggarwal, Bernhard Siessegger
