description: Visible Light Communications (VLC) is  considered as an emerging technology for indoor wireless  communications to achieve high-speed and secure  data transmission. Instead of using radio frequency (RF)  spectrum, VLC uses the visible light spectrum to perform  lighting and communications functions simultaneously.  Multiple access points VLC (multi-AP VLC) networks use  ceiling access point (ceiling-AP) and desk access point  (desk-AP) to provide both uniform and spot lighting in  order to achieve full coverage and high spectral efficiency.  Because mobile user equipment (UE) require  seamless connectivity when moving, fast link handover  between VLC access points (VLC-AP) has to be supported  in the VLC networks. In this paper, we present a coordinated  multi-channel transmission method (CMcT)  used to improve quality of service (QoS) of cell-edge UEs  and propose a novel proactive link handover scheme  deploying the CMcT method for multi-AP VLC networks.  Performance results obtained by computer simulation  show that the proactive link handover scheme deploying  the CMcT method can significantly improve user  throughput and packet delay comparing with those of  other link handover schemes.
