论文摘要
半导体的最新演变使Terahertz乐队成为了6G网络中每秒通信的推动者。然而,到目前为止,大多数研究都集中在理解Terahertz设备,电路和传播的物理学以及研究物理层解决方案上。但是,将此技术集成到复杂的移动网络中需要正确设计完整的通信堆栈,以解决与网络设置,管理,协调,能源效率和端到端连接相关的链接和系统级别的挑战。本文概述了从MAC,网络和传输层的角度介绍移动网络中介绍Terahertz频谱的问题,并考虑了Terahertz连接上端到端数据流的性能。
Recent evolutions in semiconductors have brought the terahertz band in the spotlight as an enabler for terabit-per-second communications in 6G networks. Most of the research so far, however, has focused on understanding the physics of terahertz devices, circuitry and propagation, and on studying physical layer solutions. However, integrating this technology in complex mobile networks requires a proper design of the full communication stack, to address link- and system-level challenges related to network setup, management, coordination, energy efficiency, and end-to-end connectivity. This paper provides an overview of the issues that need to be overcome to introduce the terahertz spectrum in mobile networks, from a MAC, network and transport layer perspective, with considerations on the performance of end-to-end data flows on terahertz connections.
