In this paper, a novel adjustment algorithm of the position-predicted period (PP) in an indoor visible light communication (VLC) network is proposed. The algorithm is adaptive to the movement speed. It contains two key parts: speed-adaptive position information (PI) collection and speed-adaptive PP adjustment. By the user’s mobile characteristics, speed-adaptive PI collection is realized to lift prediction accuracy. By distribution characteristics of received power, speed-adaptive PP adjustment is achieved to avoid unnecessary predictions. By the access point (AP) selection, based on position prediction and the PP adjustment algorithm adaptive to movement speed, the user’s transmission quality under different movement speeds can be improved. Finally, by simulation, the effectiveness of this algorithm is demonstrated.
