The space-air-ground integrated network (SAGIN), which links space, air, and ground network segments using modern information network technologies, is recognized as a promising network architecture for the next generation wireless communication networks, i.e., 6G and beyond, due to its wide coverage area, high user quality service, massive connectivity, and unrestricted terrain conditions. SAGIN’s integration of satellite, air, and ground segments offers seamless connectivity in remote areas, increased capacity in high-demand regions, and high-speed data access, promising significant benefits for the future evolution of 6G wireless communications. However, SAGINs, which generally operate in the radio frequency band, are limited by the high bandwidth requirements of automated driving systems, security monitoring, and the Internet of Things. To increase the speed and transmission rate of these systems, the use of optical communication links, at high frequency bands, is a promising approach. This talk will highlight the challenges related to the integration of optical wireless communication, specifically free-space optical, in SAGIN. Proposed solutions will be discussed, and prospective research avenues will be outlined.
