The Role of Optical Wireless Communication in the Next Generation Wireless Networks

The next generation wireless network (i.e., 6G and beyond) is expected to utilise multiple technologies to deliver multi-functional services to the ned users. Thess could include, sensing and data communications, localization and data communications, sensing and localisation, etc.

In this scenario it would be essential to utilise both the radio frequency and light (visible and infrared) spectrum t ensure quality of services as well as meeting the global energy efficiency and resource utilisation agenda. In this talk the focus will be on the optical wireless communications that is intended for short range indoor and outdoor applications within the context of wireless Internet of Things.

The talk will give an overview on the topic as well as outlining current research works carried out within the Optical Communications Research Group at Northumbria University.
