Wireless Personal Communications Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

In this paper, first, visible light communications system and corresponding wireless channel with related random variables are reviewed. Then, considering channel random variables, important communication performance, i.e., average channel capacity and channel outage probability are calculated. Finally, to evaluate the obtained results, numerical calculations are provided.
