Abstract

In this paper, an indoor visible light communication (VLC) system is considered. The system consists of multiple VLC access points that assist in providing high data rate downlink to multiple users. We propose Nth best node selection algorithm for indoor VLC system. The Nth best node selection analysis hold significance at times when the best node is not available; hence, the user has to switch to second or third best generally the Nth best. We derive exact closed form expressions for outage probability, coverage probability, average symbol bit error rate and ergodic capacity.
