Wireless communications refer to data transmissions in unguided propagation media through the use of wireless carriers such as radio frequency (RF) and visible light (VL) waves. The rising demand for high data rates, especially, in indoor scenarios, overloads conventional RF technologies. Therefore, technologies such as millimeter waves (mmWave) and cognitive radios have been adopted as possible solutions to overcome the spectrum scarcity and capacity limitations of the conventional RF systems. In parallel, visible light communication (VLC) has been proposed as an alternative solution, where a light source is used for both illumination and data transmission. In comparison to RF links, VLC links present a very high bandwidth that allows much higher data rates. VLC exhibits also immunity to interference from electromagnetic sources, has unlicensed channels, is a very low power consumption system, and has no health hazard. VLC is appealing for a wide range of applications including reliable communications with low latency such as vehicle safety communication. Despite the major advantages of VLC technology and a variety of its applications, its use has been hampered by its cons such as its dependence on a line of sight connectivity. Recently, hybrid RF/VLC systems were proposed to take advantage of the high capacity of VLC links and better connectivity of RF links. Thus, hybrid RF/VLC systems are envisioned as a key enabler to improve the user rates and mobility on the one hand and to optimize the capacity, interference and power consumption of the overall network on the other hand. This paper seeks to provide a detailed survey of hybrid RF/VLC systems. This paper represents an overview of the current developments in the hybrid RF/VLC systems, their benefits and limitations for both newcomers and expert researchers.

Visible light communication (VLC) is considered to be a great replacement or complement to existing radio frequency networks to provide the future fifthgeneration (5G) wireless technology with higher data rates for indoor connectivity, which alleviates the traffic demand. Therefore, many issues emerged regarding the security in 5G networks as human safety is at risk. This work presents a comprehensive study on the physical-layer security (PLS) and solutions in 5G networks, specifically, the security of VLC technology as one of the core PLS solutions for 5G future wireless networks. Furthermore, VLC threats and PLS solutions are extensively investigated. Based on our study, we propose a new indoor VLC secure model to enhance the secrecy performance in VLC networks using a combination of multiple PLS techniques to achieve this aim as beamforming, secure communication zones, and friendly jamming. The simulation results with respect to the received optical power and signal-tonoise ratio (SNR) prove that the proposed indoor VLC model can improve the secrecy performance. As the user's SNR exceeded 100 dB and optical received power reached 15 mW, the malicious user's SNR barely reached 30 dB with a 4-μW received power outside the target zone increasing his interference level.Finally, future research directions in VLC security are outlined to encourage future research.
