In visible light communication (VLC) technology, the channel is generally modeled as a multi-path propagation environment. This is due to the presence, on the photo-detector, of specular and non-specular signal components. The Rician K-factor is exploited in such environments to measure the dominance of the line-of-sight (LoS) signal power over that of the non-LoS link. In this letter, K is exploited in the evaluation of the VLC link. Examples of the use of K is underlined in the computation of few link evaluation metrics, including the signal-to-noise ratio, γ, the channel capacity, C, and the outage probability, p_out.
