VLC-WIFI heterogeneous networks have become a promising solution, where VLC and WIFI are collaborating on providing services for indoor users. The dense deployment of visible light communication multiple access points (APs) can expand the system capacity, but it leads to complicated inter-cell interference (ICI). In order to arrange users to access the appropriate AP and implement interference management, a novel scheme called user-centric access based on regular spectrum allocation (UCARSA) is proposed in the paper. In UCARSA, the sliced visible spectrum is assigned to VLC APs regularly, so that the user associated with more than one AP is impacted less by ICI. Furthermore, the virtual community is constructed for each user to balance the user rate and improve the average spectral efficiency. The above performance improvement can be proved by simulation results in this paper, and it shows that the performance of UCARSA is better than two kinds of comparison algorithms.
