Visible light communication moves to the advanced research period for developing application services, but most of applications are limited only to PtP service model. However, PtMP communication environment for VLC is required to accommodate more various applications. In this paper, we analyze an effect of key parameters on network performance in the star topology based visible personal area network system. We implement a simulator with considering attributes of PHY and MAC layer which are defined by IEEE 802.15.7 standard documents, and analyze the VLC performance.
