Abstract: The visible-light communication is a novel kind of optical wireless communication utilizing the white LEDs. As compared with infrared indoor communication this system has high radiation power to enable high quality of service for the light is “visible”. Generally, there are several plural lights installed in a room for sufficiently illuminating. So the layout of lights determining the distribution of received power is a key problem affecting

communication system. In this paper, the relation between the layout of lights and received power is studied and a best scheme is proposed to solve the design of lights layout, which
human body and electronic devices. So the visible-light communication system will expect as indoor wireless communication of next generation and also draws much attention [1][2].
A basic visible-light communication system is illustrated in Fig. 1. In this system there are two kinds of lighting device. One used in optical down-link is composed of many plural white LEDs, generally which has a large superficial area and a wide angle of irradiance. Another lighting device used in optical up-link is composed of several white LEDs. It has a
