Abstract
A network, a Visible Light Communications controller (), and a method relate to a network architecture splitting frame processing functionality between Light Fidelity Access Points () and the Visible Light Communications controller or a virtualized controller. In such configurations, the Light Fidelity Access Points are so-called thin devices that may be widely deployed through an infrastructure to concurrently provide illumination and network access via Visible Light Communications protocols such as IEEE 802.15.7 or variants thereof.
