Abstract

Features and Services that Set Cloud Computing ApartWe've come a long way in only a few decades, from clunky phones used solely for voice communication to sleek, lightweight smartphones that can multitask, access the web at fast rates, and play high-definition movies. One big difference between now and previous generations is the speed at which information travels. If we want to expand our capabilities and yet keep up with exponential growth, we'll need to increase the data rate correspondingly. We look at a Li-Fi/Wi-Fi hybrid wireless network in this research paper. Data transmission across wireless networks is greatly enhanced by Li-Fi's use of two layers of tiny attocells in the visible light spectrum. LiFi and Wi-Fi utilize wholly different frequency bands since they operate on different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. Due to their restricted coverage area, Li-Fi APs might degrade overall system performance if even a little amount of client mobility causes frequent handoffs between Li-Fi attocells. However, when the handover period becomes shorter, the data throughput of Li- Fi rises with the growing bandwidth of the Li-Fi AP servicing the client. In addition, a comprehensive comparison between LiFi and Wi-Fi has been created.
