Description

The rapid development of wireless technology made Light Fidelity, or LiFi, leave the laboratory and move onto the list of the next big thing, alongside everyday WiFi. WiFi also provides freedom of movement, but once everyone in a large area is streaming video, the signal becomes like a traffic jam. LiFi is going another way: data is sent via the rays of LED lights, meaning it can push files at light speed. The only problem is that the connection will not last forever, as soon as you leave the arc of the lamp or walk too far. In this paper, we explore what would happen when you combine the wide coverage of WiFi with the high speed of Li-Fi to form a hybrid system that avoids the weaknesses of both. Various test-based classrooms, halls, and open laboratories measured the speed of bit movement, the consistency of the beams, and the responsiveness of the games, and the mixed environment performed better in nearly all tests than the technology alone. It even figured out which to use as people entered and left the building, alternating between LiFi and WiFi, increasing uptime and doubling peak throughput. Hospitals, campuses, airports, and factories in need of constant, high-speed connections now have a better roadmap for using this blend so machines keep running smoothly and users remain engaged. The paper itself contains the unraveling of the hardware, the explanation of the test setup, and the weighing of the numbers, accompanied by some thought on what this combination can offer the future of wireless worlds. The findings justify integrating LiFi with WiFi as an innovative, scalable solution to ensure it keeps up with the massive data volumes generated by modern phones, tablets, and smart devices. 2025, Innovative Information Science and Technology Research Group.
