Hybrid light fidelity (LiFi) and wireless fidelity (WiFi) networks (HLWNets) have been recently proposed as a promising technique for indoor wireless communications. Such a network combines the high-speed transmission of LiFi and the ubiquitous coverage of WiFi. Meanwhile, in addition to user mobility, intermittent light-path blockages make the handover issue intricate in HLWNets. Also, load balancing (LB) is necessary because the coverage areas of LiFi and WiFi networks are completely overlapped. This further increases the difficulty in handover as the decision for a vertical or a horizontal handover in a mobile environment with ultra-small cells is non-trival. Aimed at providing an optimal solution to the access point selection (APS) with given channel state information (CSI), the conventional LB method might cause frequent and unnecessary handovers. In this paper, a joint optimisation problem is formulated to simultaneously consider LB and handover in HLWNets. Results show that compared with the conventional LB method, the proposed method can improve the system throughput by up to 60%.
