Abstract

See full text

A method (100) for managing Optical Wireless Communication (OWC) in a User Equipment (UE) is disclosed, the UE being configured for Radio Frequency (RF) communication with a network and comprising at least two OWC receivers. The method comprises monitoring a captured luminous flux intensity at the OWC receivers (1 10) and, if a captured luminous flux intensity at at least one of the OWC receivers is above a viability threshold (120), selecting the OWC receiver having the highest captured luminous flux intensity (130) and extracting client data from an optical signal received on the selected OWC receiver (140). Also disclosed are a UE (300, 700) configured for RF communication with a network and for OWC, the UE comprising at least two OWC receivers, and a controller (500, 600) for managing OWC in a UE.
