Abstract: An illumination system comprises at least two light sources (101,102,103) having different emission spectra to one another; a detection circuit (131,132,133) for sensing a light intensity using at least one of the light sources as a photosensor; and driving means (161,162,163) for driving the light source in dependence on the sensed spectral distribution of light. The emission spectrum of a light source with the smallest bandgap overlaps the emission spectrum of a light source with the second-smallest bandgap. The illumination system is possible to measure the intensity of light emitted by the light source with the smallest bandgap by putting the light source with the second-smallest bandgap in detection mode. The illumination system may also sense the spectral distribution of ambient light, to allow the output from the illumination system to be adjusted in dependence on the ambient light.

Abstract: The present invention provides a precoding method for use in a wireless communications system. According to the precoding method of the present invention, a serving base station and cooperative communication base stations employ an identical precoding matrix so as to weight transmission signals and then transmit them. The weighting stands for multiplication of results of overall precoding or each layer precoding process by weight values at the serving base station and the cooperative communication base stations. A user device corresponding to the serving base station and the cooperative communication base stations receives a signal which is obtained by an operation in which the serving base station and the cooperative communication base stations perform an identical precoding process and additively combine results of overall precoding or each layer precoding process with one another.
