The IEEE 802.15.7r1 Task Group (TG7r1), known as the revision of the IEEE 802.15.7 Visible Light Communication standard targeting the commercial usage of visible light communication systems which mainly use either image sensors or cameras, is of interest in this paper. The vast challenge in Image Sensor Communications (ISC), as it has been addressed in the Technical Consideration Document (TCD) of the TG7r1, is the Image Sensor Compatibility to support the variety of different commercial cameras available on the market. The on-going ISC standard must adhere to compatible image sensors regulations. This paper brings an inside review of the TG7r1 and an inside look of related works on Image Sensor Communications. The paper analyzes the compatibility features by introducing a revised model of receiver to explain how those features are necessary. One of the most challenging but interesting features is the capability in being compatible to camera frame rates. The variation of camera frame rate is modeled from verified experimental results. Noticeably, three singular approaches to support frame rates compatibility, including temporal approach, spatial approach, and frequency-domain approach, are proposed on the paper along with concise definitions. Those schemes have been presented as valuable proposals on the call-for-proposal meeting series of the TG7r1 recently.

This paper introduces a novel modulation scheme for vehicular communication in taking advantage of existing LED lights available on a car. Our proposed 2-Phase Shift Keying (2-PSK) is a spatial modulation approach in which a pair of LED light sources in a car (either rear LEDs or front LEDs) is used as a transmitter. A typical camera (i.e. low frame rate at no greater than 30fps) that either a global shutter camera or a rolling shutter camera can be used as a receiver. The modulation scheme is a part of our Image Sensor Communication proposal submitted to IEEE 802.15.7r1 (TG7r1) recently. Also, a neural network approach is applied to improve the performance of LEDs detection and decoding under the noisy situation. Later, some analysis and experiment results are presented to indicate the performance of our system

IEEE 802.15.7 VLC(Visible Light Communication) 규격 이후에 카메라 기반 ISC(Image Sensor Communication) 관련 개정 필요성이 제기되어서 현재 IEEE 802.15.7m OWC(Optical Wireless Communication) TG가 표준화를 진행 중에 있다. 2016년 5월에 결정된 Baseline Document D0를 기반으로 LiFi(Light Fidelity), OCC(Optical Camera Communication) 및 LED-ID(LED Identification) 기술로 간단하게 분류하고 각 핵심 변조 기법을 소개한다. 5세대 이동통신과 함께 사용될 수 있는 다양한 IoT/ M2M 응용 서비스(LED, 디지털사이니지, 방송, 자동차 안전, 디스플레이 등)들이 포함되어 있다. 국내에서 혁신적인 비즈니스 모델 발굴과 국내 산/학/연/관이 협력하여 가시광, 적외선 및 자외선 분야에서 적극적인 연구개발이 있어야 할 것이다.
