A Multicriteria Decision-Making Framework for Access Point Selection in Hybrid LiFi/WiFi Networks Using Integrated AHP-VIKOR Technique.

ABSTRACT: Since light fidelity (LiFi) and wireless fidelity (WiFi) do not interfere with one another, a LiFi/WiFi hybrid network may provide superior performance to existing wireless options. With many users and constant changes, a network can easily become overloaded, leading to slowdowns and fluctuations in data transfer speeds. Access point assignment (APA) is required with the increase of users, which can negatively impact the system performance and quality-of-service (QoS) due to mobility and line-of-sight (LOS) blockage. Many variables could influence the APA process; these variables are considered as criteria, such as the network capacity, the degree of blockage, the speed of the connected user, etc. Unlike conditional APA methods, recent studies have considered treating these variables as "e
