Abstract: A method and apparatus for supporting mobility of a mobile terminal in a Visible Light Communication (VLC) system. The method includes activating only necessary light sources for VLC considering the mobility of the mobile terminal, instead of using total light sources for VLC. Consequently, power consumption can be significantly reduced.

Abstract translation: 一种用于支持可见光通信（VLC）系统中的移动终端的移动性的方法和装置。 该方法仅考虑移动终端的移动性才激活VLC的必需光源，而不是使用用于VLC的总光源。 因此，可以显着降低功耗。
