This study was carried out to solve problems such as radio frequency band depletion, confusion risk, and security loss in existing visible wireless communication systems, and to determine the applicability of next-generation networks. A light-emitting diode (LED) light communication system was implemented with a controlling switching light module using the ATmega16 micro-controller. To solve the existing modulation effect and disturbance in visible light communication, an integrated interface was evaluated with a driving light module and analyzes its reception property. A transmitter/receiver using the ATmel's micro-controller, high-intensity white LED-6 modules, and infrared sensor KSM60WLM and visible sensor TSL250RD were designed. An experiment from the initial value of distance to 2.5 m showed 0.46 V of the voltage loss, and if in long distance, external light interference occurred and light intensity was lost by external impact and thus data had to be modified or reset repeatedly. Additionally, when we used 6 modules through the remote controller's lighting dimming, data could be transmitted up to 1.76 m without any errors during the day and up to 2.29 m at night with around 2~3% communication error. If a special optical filter can reduce as much external light as possible in the integrated interface, the LED for lighting communication systems may be applied in next generation networks.

In this paper, we studied the coding technique for flicker mitigation and BER performance improvement in visible light communication system. In order to increase the transmission speed of visible light communication, a multi-transmission multi-LED transmission system using a plurality of LEDs is being actively studied. However, when data is transmitted through N LEDs in a multi-LED visible light communication system using N LEDs, there is a continuous zero section in which 0 is transmitted simultaneously according to the data sequence, and since the transmission section of 1 is different, flickering Or, a phenomenon in which the dimming level changes occurs. The visible light communication system is a communication system that simultaneously performs communication and lighting functions. Therefore, transmission efficiency of communication and brightness of lighting must be considered at the same time. To solve this problem, we proposed a flicker reduction mapping that can alleviate flicker and dimming level problems, improve error detection and BER performance through coding mapping of each LED data sequence.

LED-based lighting motivated by significant energy savings provides an opportunistic development of widespread free-space optical communications. Their transceivers have a variety of competitive advantages over RF including high bandwidth density, reliability, lower energy consumption, and long lifetime. But, it is difficult for existing buildings and structures such as ships and vehicles to install the communication cable to the ceiling. In this paper, controller area network (CAN)-based LED lighting communication systems were proposed. Results indicate the viability of developing inexpensive CAN interface modules and transceivers might be embedded in lighting products to support the indoor wireless networking.

We describe a single-channel rubidium (Rb) radio-frequency atomic magnetometer (RFAM) as a receiver that takes magnetic signal resonating with Zeeman splitting of the ground state of Rb. We optimize the performance of the RFAM by recording the response signal and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in various parameters and obtain a noise level of 159 $fT{\sqrt{Hz}}$ around 30 kHz. When a resonant radiofrequency magnetic field with a peak amplitude of 8.0 nT is applied, the bandwidth and signal-to-noise ratio are about 650 Hz and 88 dB, respectively. It is a good agreement that RFAM using alkali atoms is suitable for receiving signals in the very low frequency (VLF) carrier band, ranging from 3 kHz to 30 kHz. This study shows the new capabilities of the RFAM in communications applications based on magnetic signals with the VLF carrier band. Such communication can be expected to expand the communication space by overcoming obstacles through the high magnetic sensitive RFAM.

In this paper, we analyzed the effect of modulation scheme and modulation scheme on the dimming level of visible light communication system and studied the effect of distortion due to delayed signal. Currently, the modulation schemes most commonly used in visible light communication result in increasing the communication performance but reducing the brightness of the entire illumination. Continuous Burst Zero Duration will severely degrade lighting. This degrades not only the illumination but also the performance of the whole system and causes Flicker phenomenon. In this paper, we analyze the relationship between modulation technique and illumination - communication performance and investigate the effect of signal delay on visible light communication system. Through simulation, we analyze the performance of IPI-OOK which has the best communication-lighting performance and propose future research directions accordingly.

This paper discusses the method of vision based sensor fusion system for biped robot walking. Most researches on biped walking robot have mostly focused on walking algorithm itself. However, developing vision systems for biped walking robot is an important and urgent issue since biped walking robots are ultimately developed not only for researches but to be utilized in real life. In the research, systems for environment recognition and tole-operation have been developed for task assignment and execution of biped robot as well as for human robot interaction (HRI) system. For carrying out certain tasks, an object tracking system using modified optical flow algorithm and obstacle recognition system using enhanced template matching and hierarchical support vector machine algorithm by wireless vision camera are implemented with sensor fusion system using other sensors installed in a biped walking robot. Also systems for robot manipulating and communication with user have been developed for robot.

With rapidly growing mobile wireless services, the existing copper-based mobile backhaul technologies suffer from reaching the capacity limits. PON technologies is drawing attention as a key solution to replace the existing mobile backhaul technologies due to not only providing innovative network capacity but also cost-effective maintenance caused by the bandwidth gain from optical fibers. With a PON-based mobile backhaul, broadband wireless multimedia services such as a video conference and IPTV can be seamlessly provided. In this paper, we first introduce overview of the PON-based mobile backhaul technology. For a example of practical integration, three types of EPON-WiMAX integrated architectures are proposed and comparatively analyzed in term of costs and network performance. Then, applicable plan and anticipated effects are presented when applying network coding on the PON-based mobile backhaul to improve the performance of delivering multicast traffic.

LED lighting is spreading on the strength of LED lighting, and various government policies are being implemented. VLC research which is a wireless communication technology using lighting has been actively conducted, and it has been proven through many studies that a general LED light source such as a high-speed data transmitter can be used. But from now on, one of the main problems is the noise from side lights, which can be compared to the noise of radio broadcasts. So in this paper, we proposed a noise canceling model to remove the interference of ambient light by using an optical filter for a detachable VLC channel. In order to verify the proposed model, various high brightness RGB LED modules were used for comparative analysis. In addition, the applicability was verified through experiments using High Luminance LED lighting which is applied in real life.
