You avoid interference in the same way you avoid it for radio wave communication: multiplexing. It could be time-based (time slots for each sender), frequency-based (different colors) or code-based (look up CDMA).

Plus, you already have 'spatial multiplexing' because light doesn't pass through walls as opposed to RF.



It's OFDM based transmission so OFDMA would be trivial to implement on this. Like on Wi-fi.
