Light Fidelity (Li-Fi): In Mobile Communication and Ubiquitous Computing Applications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

As the increasing nature of big data during the last few years, the problem of data traffic arises and also the pervasive nature of smart phones the number of end user smart phones was overtaken the total entire population of planet. On the other hand, the emerging technology of Li-Fi has found to be the best solution on these problems. This works on the concept of visible light communication (VLC) and also offering many solutions to reduce the cellular infrastructure traffic and its needs. Not only the mobile communication but also the ubiquitous computing adding the more overloads to the RF spectrum. In this paper, we have covered the concepts of Li-Fi, how the Li-Fi technology can be enhanced in the mobile communication, how it works, the Li-Fi cellular network, some ubiquitous computing applications, common misconceptions about Li-Fi, Li-Fi in solar cell and Internet of Things (IoT).
