In order to improve the spectral efficiency of indoor visible light communication (VLC) systems, in this letter, motivated by the concept of cognitive radio, we propose a new multi-cell cognitive VLC (C-VLC) system. The proposed multi-cell C-VLC system is comprised of both primary users and secondar...
