Visible light communication has advantages such as high speed, broadband, green, safety, and low cost. Moreover, visible light communication is not subject to electromagnetic interference, so it is useful in a wide range of application scenarios such as aviation, hospitals, and mines. However, due to the limited spectrum and coverage provided by a single LED, multiple LED coverage is adopted in the indoor layout to provide seamless connection, which also brings spectrum interference in overlapping areas. This paper proposes an indoor visible light interference suppression method based on the backward forward markup (BFM) algorithm. This method not only solves the problem of spectral interference, but also improves throughput while ensuring user fairness. The simulation results show that the BFM algorithm has brought significantly improvements in various aspects, with system throughput increased by 75% and fairness factor increased by 0.3.
