Today, wireless communications play an increasingly important role in our daily lives. For future “freewheeling” sixth generation (6G) wireless communications, the hybrid communication systems that can exploit advantages of both optical and microwave wireless technologies are critical. However, the traditional hybrid communication systems typically require a complicated relay to perform multiple operations, which will consume additional hardware/time/energy resources.
