Abstract

This chapter presents the THz wireless communication standardization, potential applications, channel properties, modeling, and link budget. The THz potential communication applications can be chip-to-chip THz wireless communication, THz-WLAN, THz-WPAN, THz-kiosk downloading, THz wireless connections via servers inside a data center, THz backhauling and fronthaul for macro and small cells wireless communications, THz airborne, and inter-satellite wireless communications, THz autonomous vehicles, UAV’s wireless communications, and, finally, THz nano-cells wireless communication. The communication propagation distance can vary between a few cm indoors and several km outdoors. At the same time, the THz have some channel properties such as the FSPL, e.g., spreading loss, atmospheric absorption of the water vapor loss, and for communication proposes, we need to operate at frequency bands below 1000 GHz that atmosphere absorption loss needs to be below 100 dB/km. Therefore, the frequency windows are approximately: 100–117, 123–175, 190–320, 335–376, 385–443, 453–515, 627–711, and 808–902 GHz.

Furthermore, the THz channel properties are snow and rain, fog and cloud, blockage, diffraction, scattering, reflection, Doppler frequency shift effect, and DS, where all of these properties attenuate the THz wave signals. So, to make a reliable THz wireless backhauling and fronthaul communication, and based on the THz link budget and THz channel properties, there is a need to develop THz high-gain antennas with gains of at least 31.8–53.6 dB to facilitate reliable 6G LoS wireless communication with a data rate of 20–100 Gb/s and propagation distance of 100–300 m for 100–500 GHz. The THz wireless communication channel modeling can be a deterministic or stochastic model based on the RT scheme. Researchers are using THz channel simulators because setting up a standard THz wireless communication channel model is complex for the reasons described in this chapter and above.
