Abstract: A communication method, a base station, a radio communication node, and a user equipment are provided. A base station determines first resource configuration information, where the first resource configuration information is used for indicating N radio resource sets that are used when N radio communication nodes separately perform communication with a user equipment UE, and the radio resource includes a time domain resource and/or a frequency domain resource.

Abstract: To improve efficiency, particularly for general illumination applications, a source of green or yellow light includes a solid state device (e.g. a laser diode) to produce an infrared laser beam and a light frequency up-converter to convert the infrared light into green or yellow light. A luminaire includes such a source as well as a source providing two other colors of light, such as red and blue (e.g. not green or yellow).
