Claim One:
1. A visible light communication (VLC) system, comprising: a VLC transmitter including multiple steerable LEDs; and a VLC receiver including multiple photodetectors and implementing a diversity combining technique, the VLC transmitter periodically transmitting a training sequence to user devices, which comprise the VLC receiver, the VLC transmitter and the VLC receiver being deployed in a coordinated way to improve link quality between the user devices and the VLC transmitter by using multiple LED assignment to the user devices, LED steering at the VLC transmitter, and diversity combining at the VLC receiver, and the system using received signal strength (RSS), of signals received from the VLC transmitter by the user devices, as an initial assignment algorithm for directing the VLC transmitter LEDs and then following with a secondary heuristic algorithm for directing the VLC transmitter LEDs.
