The multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) indoor visible-light communication (VLC) system with multiple users, where several light-emitting diodes (LEDs) send messages to several photodiodes (PD), is studied. To enhance the diversity, each user is assumed to be equipped with multiple PDs with a diff...
