Controller and associated method for selecting visible light communication personal area network coordinator (vpanc)

A controller in a Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) network, the controller comprising:

• a network interface communicatively coupled to a plurality of Visible light communication Personal Area Network Coordinators (VPANCs);
• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• creating channel scan parameters and VPANC controlling parameters for each of a plurality of VPANCs based on VPANC information received from each of the plurality of VPANCs, wherein VPANC controlling parameters created for a VPANC of the plurality of VPANCs are associated with VPANCs and dead zones neighboring the VPANC;
• and
• sharing channel scan parameters and VPANC controlling parameters associated with at least one VPANC of the plurality of VPANCs with each of the plurality of VPANCs, wherein sharing enables an End User Device (EUD) communicatively coupled to one of the plurality of VPANCs to select a new VPANC from the plurality of VPANCs.
