“…In particular, the authors in [196] presented an attenuation model of intrabody THz propagation to facilitate the accurate design and practical deployment of iWNSNs. In subsequent studies, the authors also demonstrated both the photothermal impact [197] along with the noise effect [198] of THz intrabody communication to further verify the feasibility and prosperity of such propagation mechanism.…”

Ultra-high bandwidth, negligible latency and seamless communication for devices and applications are envisioned as major milestones that will revolutionize the way by which societies create, distribute and consume information. The remarkable expansion of wireless data traffic that we are witnessing recently has advocated the investigation of suitable regimes in the radio spectrum to satisfy users' escalating requirements and allow the development and exploitation of both massive capacity and massive connectivity of heterogeneous infrastructures. To this end, the Terahertz (THz) frequency band (0.1-10 THz) has received noticeable attention in the research community as an ideal choice for scenarios involving high-speed transmission. Particularly, with the evolution of technologies and devices, advancements in THz communication is bridging the gap between the millimeter wave (mmW) and optical frequency ranges. Moreover, the IEEE 802.15 suite of standards has been issued to shape regulatory frameworks that will enable innovation and provide a complete solution that crosses between wired and wireless boundaries at 100 Gbps. Nonetheless, despite the expediting progress witnessed in THz wireless research, the THz band is still considered one of the least probed frequency bands. As such, in this work, we present an up-to-date review paper to analyze the fundamental elements and mechanisms associated with the THz system architecture. THz generation methods are first addressed by highlighting the recent progress in the electronics, photonics as well as plasmonics technology. To complement the devices, we introduce the recent channel models available for indoor, outdoor as well as nanoscale propagation at THz band frequencies. A comprehensive comparison is then presented between the THz wireless communication and its other contenders by treating in depth the limitations associated with each communication technology. In addition, several applications of THz wireless communication are discussed taking into account the various length scales at which such applications occur. Further, as standardization is a fundamental aspect in regulating wireless communication systems, we highlight the milestones achieved regarding THz standardization activities. Finally, a future outlook is provided by presenting and envisaging several potential use cases and attempts to guide the deployment of the THz frequency band and mitigate the challenges related to high frequency transmission. ).

“…The statistics of error prediction in terms of standard deviation and mean were presented and the results were found to agree well with the measured ones. A stochastic model that considers different forms of noise that may impact propagation within nano scale systems was considered by Elayan et al [246] by deriving probability distributions of the noise sources. It was found that Doppler induced noise has the greatest contribution compared to other sources of noise such as black body noise and Johnson-Nyquist noise.…”

The Terahertz (THz) band (0.1-3.0 THz) spans a great portion of the Radio Frequency (RF) spectrum that is mostly unoccupied and unregulated. It is a potential candidate for application in Sixth-Generation (6G) wireless networks as it has the capabilities of satisfying the high data rate and capacity requirements of future wireless communication systems. Profound knowledge of the propagation channel is crucial in communication systems design which nonetheless, is still at its infancy as channel modeling at THz frequencies has been mostly limited to characterizing fixed Point-to-Point (P2P) scenarios up to 300 GHz. Provided the technology matures enough and models adapt to the distinctive characteristics of the THz wave, future wireless communications systems will enable a plethora of new use cases and applications to be realized in addition to delivering higher spectral efficiencies that would ultimately enhance the Quality-of-Service (QoS) to the end user. In this paper, we provide an insight into THz channel propagation characteristics, measurement capabilities and modeling methods along with recommendations that will aid in the development of future models in the THz band. We survey the most recent and important measurement campaigns and modeling efforts found in literature based on the use cases and system requirements identified. Finally, we discuss the challenges and limitations of measurements and modeling at such high frequencies and contemplate the future research outlook toward realizing the 6G vision.

Terahertz (THz) frequency bands can be promising for data transmissions between the core network and access points (AP) for next-generation wireless systems. In this paper, we analyze the performance of a dual-hop THz-RF wireless system where an AP facilitates data transmission between a core network and user equipment (UE). We consider a generalized model for the end-to-end channel with independent and not identically distributed (i.ni.d.) fading model for THz and RF links using the α-µ distribution, the THz link with pointing errors, and asymmetrical relay position. We derive a closed-form expression of the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the end-to-end signal to noise ratio (SNR) for the THz-RF link, which is valid for continuous values of µ for a generalized performance analysis over THz fading channels. Using the derived CDF, we analyze the performance of THz-RF relayed system using decode-andforward (DF) protocol by deriving analytical expressions of diversity order, moments of SNR, ergodic capacity, and average BER in terms of system parameters. We also analyze the considered system with an i.i.d. model, and develop simplified performance to provide insight on the system behavior analytically under various practically relevant scenarios. Simulation and numerical analysis show significant effect of fading parameters of the THz link and a nominal effect of normalized beam-width on the performance of the relay-assisted THz-RF system.
