Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, an indication that the base station supports visible light communication (VLC). The UE may deactivate a radio frequency (RF) receiver of the UE based on the indication, and may receive a VLC message at a photo detector of the UE while the RF receiver of the UE is deactivated. In some examples, the UE may activate the RF receiver based on a content of the VLC message, which may include a physical cell identifier (PCI), a UE identifier, or a system information value tag, among other examples. Accordingly, the UE may communicate with the base station using the RF receiver. The described techniques may provide for reduced power consumption at the UE, among other benefits.
