20120269080 | CARRIER SENSE-BASED RANGING - Wireless local area networks (WLANs) provide wireless communication between various wireless devices. Frames are acknowledged (ACKed) after a short and predefined MAC idle time. The MAC idle time varies with 1) the physical distance between wireless devices, caused by the delay of wireless signal propagation, and 2) the time to detect the ACK at the local wireless device, which varies with the signal strength of the incoming ACK. Embodiments present CAESAR (CArriEr Sense-bAsed Ranging), which combines time of flight (TOF) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) measurements to calculate the distance between two wireless devices. CAESAR measures the distance by estimating the MAC idle time in a data/ACK communication at a particular clock resolution and the ACK detection time on a per-frame basis. Performance measurements confirm the accuracy of the solution and show the capability to track the distance to WLAN smart phones at pedestrian speeds. | 10-25-2012 |
20130182104 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LOW-LATENCY CAMERA CONTROL IN A WIRELESS BROADCASTING SYSTEM - Systems, methods, apparatus, methods and computer program code are disclosed for operating automated video broadcasting systems and include capturing, by a video camera, video data at an event site. Scene description data is extracted from the video data, and the scene description data is transmitted, over a wireless communication network, to a video processing system. The video data is transmitted separately from the scene description data from the video camera to the video processing system over the wireless communication network. | 07-18-2013 |
20130266325 | VISIBLE LIGHT COMMUNICATION WITH FLICKERING PREVENTION - LEDs that transmit or receive data in a VLC may create a flickering effect which is observed when the human eye is able to perceive the fluctuations of the light intensity in a LED. To prevent flickering, the LEDs may emit light based on a pattern of data and energy intervals. During the data intervals, a LED transmitting a message sends one or more data symbols to receiving LEDs. The receiving LEDs, however, are reversed bias and do not emit light. During the energy intervals, any LED in the VLC system may emit light. Each LED uses the energy interval to compensate for the light transmitted (or not transmitted) during the data interval. The combination of data and energy levels results in an observer seeing light with a constant intensity rather than changing intensity. | 10-10-2013 |
20140172141 | ACOUSTIC DATA TRANSMISSION BASED ON GROUPS OF AUDIO RECEIVERS - Techniques are disclosed for acoustic data reception. Playback of modified audio content is acoustically detected by a first receiving entity and a second receiving entity operatively connected to the first receiving entity via a network. The modified audio content is generated by encoding specified data into specified audio content such that the modified audio content satisfies a predefined signal constraint characterizing imperceptibility of any differences between playback of the specified audio content and playback of the modified audio content. The specified data is collaboratively decoded based on the acoustically detected playback of the modified audio content and by the first receiving entity and the second receiving entity using the network and according to a predefined diversity scheme. | 06-19-2014 |
20140341589 | RELIABLE VISIBILE LIGHT COMMUNICATION WITH DARK LIGHT SYNCHRONIZATION - LEDs that transmit or receive data in a VLC channel may create a flickering effect which is caused by the human eye being able to perceive the fluctuations of the light intensity in a LED. To prevent flickering such that the LED is perceived as being illuminated at a constant intensity, the LEDs may emit light based on a pattern of dark and energy slots. During the dark slots, the LEDs may be reversed bias to determine how much light is received. Based on comparing the light received, each VLC system may synchronize respective clocks such that the dark slots align. The VLC systems may then transmit a data frame preamble instructing the other VLC systems to cease synchronization and use the dark slots to receive the data from the data frame. While transmitting the data frame, the VLC systems may continue to use the energy slots to prevent flicker. | 11-20-2014 |
20150050994 | LIGHT COMMUNICATION BETWEEN USER DEVICES AND PHYSICAL OBJECTS - Systems and methods for communicating information between user devices and physical objects which are separate from the user devices. The physical objects may store information related to one or more online games associated with the physical objects. The user devices may obtain the information stored by the physical objects via light communication. The user devices may use the obtained information in order to effectuate presentation of a virtual character and/or virtual object in an online game corresponding to the information. | 02-19-2015 |

20140111302 | Control Method in a Network - The present invention relates to a method for controlling communication in a network comprising a plurality of interconnected network nodes, each network node comprises a processor and a memory in which a unique identity is stored; a sensor having at least two states; and an actuator performing functions in response to received signals. The method forming a relationship between a primary network node to which a first sensor is connected and at least one secondary network node to which one or more actuators are connected to establish a link there between. The primary and secondary network nodes are one of the plurality of interconnected network nodes; storing information of the link in the memory of each secondary network node; and controlling the one or more actuators. This is achieved by: transmitting a message from the primary network node, which is generated when the primary network node detects a change in state of the first sensor; receiving the message at each secondary network node; and performing a function in one or more actuators connected to each secondary network node in response to the received message. | 04-24-2014 |
