%X Design of an efcient indoor visible light communication (VLC) system requires careful considerations on both illumination and  communication aspects. Besides fundamental factors such as received power and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) level, studies on  mobility scenarios and link switching process must be done in order to achieve good communication link quality in such systems.  In this paper, a comprehensive lighting confguration for efcient indoor VLC systems for supporting mobility and link switching  with constraint on illumination, received power, and SNR is proposed. Full connectivity in mobility scenarios is required to make  the system more practical. However, different from other literatures, our work highlights the signifcance of recognizing the main  influences of feld of view angle on the connectivity performance in the practical indoor scenarios. A flexible link switching initiation  algorithm based on the consideration of relative received power with adaptive hysteresis margin is demonstrated. In this regard, we  investigate the effect of the overlap area between two light sources with respect to the point view of the receiver on the link switching  performance. Te simulation results show that an indoor VLC system with sufcient illumination level and high communication  link quality as well as full mobility and support link switching can be achieved using our approach.
