Adaptive baud rate in light-based communication
First Claim
1. A method for setting a baud rate for light-based communication (LCom), the method comprising:
- determining decoding parameters of a receiving device, the receiving device including a camera for receiving LCom signals, and a display;
calculating a baud rate suitable for the receiving device based on the decoding parameters; and
causing the baud rate to be set at an LCom-enabled luminaire.

Abstract
Light-based communication (LCom) techniques are disclosed for adaptively adjusting the baud rate of a luminaire to optimize the LCom signal transmitted for an intended receiver device. The adaptive baud rate can be adjusted by a process that includes, for example: determining decoding parameters of the receiver device, the device including a camera for receiving LCom signals, and a display. The process further includes calculating a baud rate suitable for the receiver device based on the decoding parameters, and causing the baud rate to be set at the luminaire. The process may further include at least one of: verifying the baud rate at the receiver device; adjusting the decoding parameters of the receiver device if baud rate cannot be adjusted to meet a current configuration of decoding parameters; and prompting a user to rotate receiver device to improve orientation of the luminaire with respect to a raster direction of the camera.
