Hybrid Li-Fi/Wi-Fi Networks for beyond 6G Connectivity
With the advent of beyond 5G (B5G) and the evolution toward 6G, the demand for ultra-reliable, high-throughput, and low-latency wireless communication in dense indoor environments has become increasingly critical. While radio frequency (RF)-based Wi-Fi networks remain dominant, they face challenges such as spectral congestion, limited bandwidth, and susceptibility to interference. Light Fidelity (Li-Fi), utilizing the visible light spectrum, offers a compelling complementary solution due to its high data rate capabilities, spatial reuse, and inherent physical-layer security. This tutorial provides an in-depth technical exploration of Hybrid Li-Fi/Wi-Fi networks, focusing on their role in enabling robust and high-capacity indoor wireless connectivity. Key topics include orientation-aware optical channel modeling, user mobility analysis, dynamic link availability due to blockage and field-of-view constraints, and analytical and simulation-based outage modeling. The tutorial also examines intelligent access point association strategies, cross-technology link aggregation, and adaptive system configurations to optimize throughput and service continuity. Attendees will gain a rigorous understanding of the physical and system-level design aspects of hybrid Li-Fi/RF systems, along with insights into real-world deployment challenges, performance trade-offs, and research opportunities critical for the development of next-generation wireless indoor networks.

Harnessing Light for High- Speed Communication
The exponential growth in data demand has driven the exploration of alternative communication technologies beyond traditional radio frequency (RF) systems. Harnessing light for high-speed communication—commonly referred to as optical wireless communication (OWC)—offers a promising solution with its vast, unlicensed bandwidth, immunity to electromagnetic interference, and high data rate capabilities. This paradigm includes technologies such as visible light communication (VLC), infrared communication, and free-space optical (FSO) links. By leveraging light sources like LEDs and lasers, and employing photodiodes or even solar panels as receivers, OWC systems can support gigabit-per-second data rates for a range of applications including indoor networking, vehicular communication, and satellite links. This abstract explores the key principles, recent advancements, and emerging use cases of light-based communication systems, emphasizing their potential to complement and enhance existing wireless infrastructure for the next generation of high-speed, energy-efficient connectivity.
