“…The additive message signal from the transmitter passes through the VLC channel. Only the line‐of‐sight (LOS) component of the transmitted signal is considered [
16]. The LOS optical channel gain
between the LED and the m ‐th user can be calculated as follows,
where
is the surface area of the PD,
is the Lambertian index,
half power semi‐angle of a LED,
is the distance between the LED and the PD,
is the angle that the light from the LED to the PD makes with the normal,
is the angle of incidence of PD,
is t...…”
