absence of flickering [26]. To transmit data, Li-Fi LEDs must
remain continuously illuminated, albeit at such low levels as to
render them imperceptible to the naked eye while still carrying
enough light to facilitate data communication. Nevertheless, a
critical limitation of Li-Fi stems from its reliance on the
visible spectrum for illumination, precluding optimization for
efficient wireless communication. This restriction poses a
significant challenge for the technology's widespread
adoption.
Addressing the seamless transition between different Li-Fi
cells, technologies enabling roaming or handover might
facilitate a smooth shift in connectivity. Another advantageous
aspect of Li-Fi is its ability to transmit signals without
requiring direct line of sight; in some cases, signals can even
be reflected off walls, achieving speeds of up to 70 Mbit/s.
However, one of Li-Fi's drawbacks is its relatively limited Fig. 3. Li-Fi modules
