Title: Power allocation for visible light communication

Abstract

A system and method for providing optical multiple input and multiple output data communication using optical signals includes a plurality of light sources, a plurality of photodetectors, and at least one controller. The plurality of light sources are configured to emit optical signals to communicate data. The plurality of photodetectors are configured to sense the optical signals, and are embedded in at least one receiver. At least one of the plurality of photodetectors is configured to receive the optical signals from two or more of the plurality of light sources. The controller is configured to assign a transmit power to at least some of the plurality of light sources based on parameters of the plurality of photodetectors.
