The travelled signals that used to estimate the distances between LEDs and the target undergo from non-line-of-sight (NLOS) link in indoor positioning system (IPS) utilizing visible light communication (VLC) technology. This could present a significant error in identifying their positions. In this paper, we design an IPS based on a new hybrid technique using VLC technology for accuracy enhancing. To begin, the target's position is determined using a weighted least square positioning method. Next, a maximum likelihood positioning approach is used to relocate the target's position, starting with the estimated position as an initial point. Simulations present that the created algorithm performs better than weight least squares and conventional maximum likelihood methods.
