Abstract
A method for transmitting data from a source terminal to a destination terminal via a plurality of potential relay paths, each potential relay path having at least one relay terminal between the source terminal and the destination terminal, wherein the or each relay terminal is operable to transmit visual-light including terminal state information for that relay terminal, the method comprising: at the source terminal, collecting the terminal state information for one or more of the relay terminals; each terminal state information collected from the one or more relay terminals identifying a potential relay path and providing a level of a visual-light parameter for that potential relay path; determining a performance value for each potential relay path from the level of the visual-light parameter for that potential relay path; selecting a relay path based on the performance value of the one or more potential relay paths; and transmitting the data from the source terminal via the selected relay path.
