About this Research Topic
As the emerging and promising candidates for 6G, visible light communications (VLC), and other emerging optical wireless communication and networking techniques are earning increasing attention and investigation from both the wireless communication and the optical communication communities. These various and distinct hybrid techniques open the novel research opportunities for numerous application scenarios, including but not limited to indoor & outdoor wireless communications, indoor & outdoor positioning and sensing, industry internet of things (IIOT), industry 4.0, smart manufacturing, virtual reality, emergency response, wireless backhaul, vehicular applications, underwater wireless applications, satellite applications, precision agriculture, sensor network, underground wireless applications, high speed train applications, healthcare wireless applications, retro reflection communications applications, unmanned aerial vehicular wireless applications, and other developing fields.
The aim of this Research Topic is to bring together the research accomplishments provided by researchers from academia and the industry. The main goal is to show the latest research works in the field of visible light communications & positioning, hybrid optical wireless techniques, especially for empowering B5G & 6G development.
We encourage prospective authors to submit related research papers on subjects including but not limited to:
- Emerging Optical Wireless Communications and Networking
- Visible Light Communications & Positioning & Sensing
- Hybrid Optical Wireless, Free Space Optics
- Radio Over Fiber, Thz Communications and B5G&6G.
