The invention relates to a method for directing communication traffic to and from a communication unit within an application control system, wherein the application control system comprises a plurality of application control components and the application control components are capable of transmitting messages to the communication unit using light waves. By determining position information of the application control components within the application control system and of a first communication unit within the application control system, an area of interest for the first communication unit is computed based on at least the first position information. A first subgroup of one or more application control components from the plurality of application control components located within the area of interest of the first communication unit is identified and data paths through the application control system are programmed to communicate with the communication unit using the identified subgroup of application control components.
