Nowadays there are many ways in which cell phones can connect to Internet by switching between the 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi services. However, these systems can be easily saturated in places where there is a high user density. Li-Fi is a complementary system that has been studied for more than 100 years and data would be transmitted in frequencies between the 400 and 800 THz, the visible light spectrum. The aim of Li-Fi is to send information through conventional lighting elements (LEDs) at the same time that a place is illuminated, by adding a small number of devices that would have a very low cost.
In addition, the increase in the number of applications and the amount of data that will be required for 5G has introduced a key concept for the next generation: HetNets, specially focused on providing high QoS in indoor environments where the demand is greater. One of the candidate technologies to satisfy these requirements is the combination of Wi-Fi and Li-Fi which could coexist, although some authors had predicted that Li-Fi would replace Wi-Fi.
