With the increasing demand of Internet-of-Things applicability in various devices and location-based services (LBSs) with positioning capabilities, we proposed simple and effective post-processing techniques to reduce positioning error and provide more precise navigation to users in a pedestrian environment in this letter. The proposed positioning error reduction techniques (Technique 1-minimum range securement and bounce elimination, Technique 2-direction vector-based error correction) were studied considering low complexity and wide applicability to various types of positioning systems, e.g., global positioning system (GPS). Through the real field tests in urban areas, we have verified that an average positioning error of the proposed techniques is significantly decreased compared to that of a GPS-only environment.

In this letter, we study an interference scenario under a smart interferer which observes color channels and interferes with a visible light communication (VLC) network. We formulate the smart interference problem based on a Stackelberg game and propose an optimal response algorithm to overcome the interference by optimizing transmit power and sub-color channel allocation. The proposed optimization algorithm is composed with Lagrangian dual decomposition and non-linear fractional programming to have stability to get optimum points. Numerical results show that the utility by the proposed algorithm is increased over that of the algorithm based on the Nash game and the baseline schemes.
