Wireless connectivity is no longer limited to facilitating communications between individuals, but is also required to support diverse and heterogeneous applications, services and infrastructures. Internet of things (IoT) systems will dominate future technologies, allowing any and all devices to create, share and process data. If artificial intelligence resembles the brain of IoT, then high-speed connectivity forms the nervous system that connects the devices. For IoT to safely operate autonomously, it requires highly secure and reliable wireless links. In this article, we shed light on the potential of optical wireless communications to provide high-speed secure and reliable ubiquitous access as an enabler for fifth generation and beyond wireless networks.
无线连接不再局限于促进个人之间的通信,还需要支持各种异构的应用程序、服务和基础设施。物联网(IoT)系统将主导未来技术,使任何设备都能创建、共享和处理数据。如果说人工智能类似于物联网的大脑,那么高速连接则构成了连接设备的神经系统。为了使物联网能够安全自主运行,它需要高度安全可靠的无线链路。在本文中,我们将探讨光无线通信作为第五代及以后无线网络的推动者,提供高速、安全、可靠的无处不在的接入的潜力。
