Abstract
Methods, apparatus and non-transitory machine-readable mediums are provided for wireless communication in communication networks enabled for wireless light communication. In one embodiment, a method is performed in a node of a communication network. The method enables data communication to be established between a first wireless device and the communication network upon a wireless Light Communication (LC) link between the first wireless device and an LC-enabled Access Point (AP) of the communication network becoming unavailable. The method comprises: identifying a second wireless device for relaying data between the first wireless device and the communication network via a first communication link between the first wireless device and the second wireless device and a second communication link between the second wireless device and an AP of the communication network associated with the second wireless device.
