Light is going to bounce off surfaces so they need redundancy and error control anyway. LiFi is built on 802.11 protocols so the higher levels are the same. The lower level is pretty easy to add redundancy to signal.
The advantage of LiFi over WiFi is that don’t have to deal with interference. The light is confined to the room when WiFi can go to neighboring apartments. The downside is that need devices in each room. If they can get speed higher, within the published ranges not the crazy one, they can do same job as WiGig.
Another advantage is that light diodes and receivers are simple and cheap. My guess is that it is easier to scale LiFi to higher speeds or make super cheap. But that may only work for special cases.
