Description: Abstract: In visible light communications (VLC) technology, the channel is generally modeled as a multi-path propagation environment. This is due to the presence, on the photo-detector (PD), of specular and non-specular signal components. The Racian K-factor is exploited in such environments to measure the dominance of the line-of-sight (LoS) signal power over that of the non-LoS (NLoS) link. In this paper, K is exploited in the evaluation of the VLC link. Examples of the use of K is underlined in the computation of few link evaluation metrics including the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), , the channel capacity, C, and the outage probability
