The demand for high data rate, reliable wireless communications continues to grow rapidly. The number of connected devices is expected to explode in the near future as the use of of smartphones, the Internet of Things' devices such as health and fitness wearables will vastly increase (10s of billions for 5G). As the radio frequency (RF) spectrum is becoming very crowded, alternative and complementary technologies, such as visible light communications (VLC) have recently become very appealing. The advantages of using VLC are its inherent safety, the lack of interference, because VLC does not penetrate walls, and the huge free bandwidth. However, VLC has its drawbacks such as limited indoor coverage and limited mobility, and has to be used in a hybrid manner with RF links. Despite the recent interest in VLC and the availability of some commercial products such as LiFi, there remain many open problems to be addressed in order to fully exploit the huge available bandwidth with practical schemes. For example, the development of

对高数据速率的需求，可靠的无线通信继续迅速增长。随着智能手机的使用，诸如健康和健身诸如健康和健身之类的物联网设备的使用将在不久的将来爆炸的连接设备的数量将大大增加（5G十亿美元）。随着射频（RF）频谱变得非常拥挤，替代和互补技术，例如可见光通信（VLC），最近变得非常吸引人。使用VLC的优点是其固有的安全性，缺乏干扰，因为VLC没有穿透墙壁和巨大的自由带宽。但是，VLC的缺点，例如有限的室内覆盖范围和有限的移动性，并且必须与RF链接以混合方式使用。尽管最近对VLC感兴趣以及一些商业产品（例如LIFI）的可用性，但仍有许多开放问题需要解决，以充分利用实用方案的巨大可用带宽。例如，发展
