N2  - 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, di?erent from other literatures, our work highlights the signifcance of recognizing the main
in?uences of feld of view angle on the connectivity performance in the practical indoor scenarios. A ?exible link switching initiation
algorithm based on the consideration of relative received power with adaptive hysteresis margin is demonstrated. In this regard, we
investigate the e?ect 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.
