Propagation Modeling for Wireless Communications in the Terahertz Band
Abstract
Terahertz band (0.1-10 THz) communication is envisioned as a key technology to support ultra-broadband wireless systems for beyond 5G. For realization of efficient wireless communication networks in the THz band, it is imperative to develop channel models that can accurately and efficiently characterize the THz spectrum peculiarities. This article provides an in-depth view of channel modeling in the THz band, based on the deterministic, statistical, and hybrid methods. The state-of-the-art THz channel models in single-antenna and ultra-massive MIMO systems are extensively reviewed, respectively. Furthermore, the open challenges and potential research directions are highlighted regarding THz propagation modeling. Associated with the channel models, key physical parameters of the THz channel and their implications for wireless communication design are analyzed. The provided analysis lays the foundation for reliable and efficient ultra-broadband wireless communications in the THz band.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
