Ion dynamics in lithium bismuth borate conducting glasses have been reported in wide composition and temperature ranges. The activation energy for the dc conduction has been analysed using Anderson-Stuart model and a correlation between the dc conductivity and the doorway radius has been predicted. The characteristic length scales for ion dynamics, such as mean square displacement and spatial extent of sub-diffusive motion of lithium ions have been determined from the ac conductivity and dielectric spectra, respectively. A direct connection between the ion dynamics and the characteristic length scales and the network structural units have been established.
