Abstract
A method performed by a communications system, for authenticating a station, STA, to access a network is provided. The STA is capable of communicating with a light source. The method includes sending, by a management server to a controller of the light source, network access information, sending, by the light source to the STA, the received network access information, which network access information is sent to the STA via a Visual Light Communication (VLC) channel. The VLC channel is emitted from the light source and received by a light detector in the STA. The STA is authenticated to the network by sending the received network access information to an Access Point (AP) operating in the network in which the STA communicates with the AP via a communication channel.
