The Technology of LiFi: A Brief Introduction

Light Fidelity (LiFi) is a Visible Light Communication (VLC) based technology that making a light as a media of communication replacing the cable wire communication. LiFi is evolve to overcome the rate speed in WiFi, while using LiFi the rate speed can reach until 14 Gbps. This paper presents an introduction of the LiFi technology including the architecture, modulation, performance, and the challenges. The result of this paper can be used as a reference and knowledge to develop some of the LiFi technology.
