doc.: IEEE Submission doc. : IEEE March 2009 Mobility There are two types of mobility –Physical Mobility –Logical Mobility Physical Mobility affects –PHY –MAC (Possibly) Logical Mobility affects –MAC Larry Taylor, DTC (UK)

doc.: IEEE Submission doc. : IEEE March 2009 Physical Mobility The VLC device changes physical position –Moves within the coverage area PHY conditions may change –Link quality –Interference –Path loss –etc. No Link Change –(I1, M1) Larry Taylor, DTC (UK)

doc.: IEEE Submission doc. : IEEE March 2009 Logical Mobility Device changes neighbourhood –Link moves from (I2, M1) –To (I3, M1) Change may be due to –PHY effects e.g. interference –MAC control e.g. Channel Change Larry Taylor, DTC (UK)

doc.: IEEE Submission doc. : IEEE March 2009 Physical & Logical Mobility Device moves while communicating –Physical position changes PHY link may change –Link changes from (I1, M1) –To (I2, M1) (I3, M1) (I4, M1) Larry Taylor, DTC (UK)

doc.: IEEE Submission doc. : IEEE March 2009 The Vehicle Cases Infrastructure & moving vehicle –Physical & Logical Mobility Link Changes –(I1, V1).. –(I4, V1) Point-to-Point –Physical Mobility No Link Change –(V1, V2) Larry Taylor, DTC (UK)
