Abstract
Terahertz waves for 6G are currently regarded as a "Day-2" challenge due to slow 5G adoption and the WRC-2031 timeline. While 3GPP standardization has slowed, research leveraging IEEE 802.15.3-2023[1,2] is progressing to complement mobile networks. Technically, although RF front-ends can achieve 100 Gbps, the lack of practical baseband signal processing chips remains a significant bottleneck; current high-speed results typically rely on offline processing. Overcoming this requires massive investment, necessitating the identification of clear demand. Promising AI-era use cases include wireless mobile backhaul, ultra-spot communications, and high-efficiency wireless data centers. These initiatives aim to establish a new wireless ecosystem alongside 6G.
The terahertz (THz) band is seen as one of the potentially essential technologies for meeting the requirement for terabit (Tbit) per second data throughput in future networks. THz communication system upgrades are becoming increasingly important and have attracted the interest of many researchers as THz devices continu...
