Exploring Li-Fi for IoT Advanced Audio Data Transfer

Abstract

Background: This study investigates Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) as a possible route for data transmission, particularly given the rapid rise of the Internet of Things (IoT). Given Wi-Fi's vulnerability to interference, hacking, and worries about electromagnetic radiation (EMR) health effects, Li-Fi's potential benefits over regular Wi-Fi were especially appealing. Objective: Determine the effectiveness of Li-Fi in delivering audio data. This included building a rudimentary Li-Fi circuit to carry audio data and testing its speed, security, and dependability. Methods: In the research, audio signals were converted to optical signals using a Li-Fi-based circuit. This was sent across a network. The efficiency and sustainability of solar panels were investigated. To secure transmitted data, advanced encryption was also tried. Results: The findings underlined li-Fi's improved performance, particularly in situations of high network traffic. This advantage is due to Li-Fi's use of light waves for data transport, which are less sensitive to interference than traditional radio frequency-based solutions. This study's basic Li-Fi circuit acted as a proof of concept in audio data transfer, highlighting the potential advantages of enhanced audio quality and increased security. Conclusion: Given the rising needs of IoT, Li-Fi appears as a viable competitor for future Internet infrastructure. The study highlights the benefits of Li-Fi while emphasizing the need for ongoing research and technological advances to fully realize its potential in various applications
