Abstract

Representing a significant advancement over the 4G LTE network, 5G paves the door for the widespread use of IoT applications. This paper explored 5G technology in IoT applications across indoor communication employing Light fidelity (Li-Fi) technology. A comparative analysis between Wi-Fi and Li-Fi was conducted to explore the potential of 5G in IoT applications. Furthermore, by analyzing the literature related to integrating Li-Fi into the 5G and IoT-application, the issues and challenges of this integration have also been highlighted. This study illustrated that combining Li-Fi with 5G and IoT is fascinating area of study, and it might lead to further research.
