Light-fidelity (LiFi) is a networked optical wireless communication (OWC) solution for high-speed indoor connectivity for fixed and mobile optical communications. Unlike conventional radio frequency wireless systems, the OWC channel is not isotropic, meaning that the device orientation affects the c...
