Abstract
Fifth-generation (5G) wireless technology has grown dramatically in the last few years because of increasing demand of faster data connections with lower latency. At the same time, several researchers believe that 5G will be insufficient in the coming years due to the rapid increase of multiple machine connection. So, beyond the fifth generation (B3G), obviously it will be the sixth generation (6G) in which mobile users demand ultra-high speed in gigabits per second (Gbps) for Internet of Everything (IoE). To satisfy such requirements, we need wideband spectrum for communication. Terahertz (THz) waves are best solution for wideband applications. This paper outlines the advantages, challenges, and applications of terahertz waves.
