Terahertz Communications (TeraCom): Challenges and Impact on 6G Wireless Systems
arXiv:1912.06040
Abstract
Terahertz communications are envisioned as a key technology for 6G, which requires 100+ Gbps data rates, 1-millisecond latency, among other performance metrics. As a fundamental wireless infrastructure, the THz communication can boost abundant promising applications, including next-generation WLAN systems like Tera-WiFi, THz wireless backhaul, as well as other long-awaited novel communication paradigms. Serving as a basis of efficient wireless communication and networking design, this paper highlights the key THz channel features and recent advancements in device technologies. In light of these, impact and guidelines on 6G wireless communication and networking are elaborated. We believe the progress of THz technologies is helping finally close the so called THz Gap, and will realize THz communications as a pillar of 6G wireless systems.
