A method for providing visible notification by a device in a visible-light-communication system based on Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) standard 802.15.7, wherein higher levels are allowed to invoke through one standardized interface a medium-access-control sub-layer to provide color-function support and enables invocation of a transmission of color, visibility, and dimming frames by a higher layer, which creates a unified interface between the MAC sub-layer and the higher layers, while providing a primitive for requesting, by the at least one upper layer to the at least one interface of the medium-access-control entity layer, a transmission of at least one visibility frame. |
