Abstract
By synergistically capitalizing emerging communication technologies from both the RF and the optical domains, this paper proposes a hybrid system architecture by leveraging the emerging programmable/cognitive radio technology and free space optical communication. We identify some key research issues to enable such a system with high data rate, mobility and ubiquitous coverage, and heterogeneous QoS support.
