 Abstract
Light Fidelity or Li-Fi is one of the best technology in present communication system which
uses LEDs, Light Emitting Diodes for transmission of data with much more faster and
flexible than the data that can be transmitted through Wi-Fi. Li-Fi is basically a
5G technology of (VLC) visible light communication system which utilizes light emitting
diodes for high speed communication in similar manner as that of Wi-Fi.

The LEDs are used for illumination only on applying a constant current to them. However, by
slow and fast variations of the current, the optical output can be made to vary at very high
speed. This property is known as Intensity Modulation. This property of optical current is
used in Li-Fi technology. It’s operation is very simple as when the LED is off then a logic
“0”is transmitted ,when the LED is on , a logic “1” is transmitted. It happens at a very fast
rate flickering of LED which is undetectable to the human eye. Many methods are there to
improve the data rate and efficiency, like using an matrix of LEDs for parallel data
transmission, or using mixtures of RGB LEDs to change the light’s frequency with each
frequency encoding a seperate data channel.
