In this paper, we introduce the Matrix‐MMC propagation model for indoor wireless optical channels. This proposed method is evolved from the modified Monte Carlo (MMC)–based ray tracing algorithm, but in addition to the properties of MMC, it has the capability of capturing reflection phenomena implying changes on wavelength (eg, fluorescence, phosphorescence, or iridescence) with a simplified analytical expression. The model provides unprecedented information about the mechanism of surface reflection in a visible light communication channel, which influences the propagation of the light waves, that depends on wavelength.
