Modelling and Simulation of Handover in Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) Network

The demand of a faster and more secure wireless communication system leads to the development of a new and innovated network in future. Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) is being researched to provide a better wireless network communication. In this communication technology, light from Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) has been used for data transmission. The purpose of this research work is to investigate the performance of handover algorithms in a Li-Fi network. Two handover algorithms are Closest Access Point (AP) (CAP) and Maximum Channel Gain (MCG). MATLAB simulation results are presented to evaluate those two types of handover algorithms and to show the impacts of UE's rotation and movement on handover performance.
