Communication system and method for cloud-assisted free-space optical backhaul

A communication method, comprising:

• in a cloud server:
• obtaining, by a processor, sensor data associated with a defined indoor area and a plurality of optical nodes in the defined indoor area;
• obtaining, by the processor, location coordinates of the plurality of optical nodes in the defined indoor area;
• and
• controlling, by the processor, at least a master communication device to establish a laser beam-based wireless communication network in the defined indoor area, wherein the controlling of the master communication device is based on the obtained sensor data and the location coordinates of the plurality of optical nodes.
