I am a masters student studying wireless communication in Korea. While writing my paper, I have encountered a problem about how to use English punctuation (the inclusion or not of a comma).

Can you tell me if I need a comma in the sentence I wrote, and if so, where I should put it – in front of or behind the "and thus"?

The development and rapid growth of two-way interactive applications such as video call, real-time games, and Internet-of-Things (IoT) make it worse and thus we urgently need to find solutions to increasing the UL capacity.

There are issues bigger than punctuation with the sentence. "...make it worse..." make what worse?, for example. – user405662 Jun 09 '22 at 11:54
Are you aware of how two independent clauses may be connected in a sentence? If not, then researching that issue should help. – MarcInManhattan Jun 09 '22 at 14:49
A comma is expected, and thus will help. – Yosef Baskin Jun 09 '22 at 18:30
I'd drop the 'and' and start another sentence at 'thus'. A colon might be appropriate instead but I'd drop the 'and' whatever you do. – BoldBen Jun 10 '22 at 09:21
