Augmentation of Terahertz Communication in 6G and Its Dependency for Future State-of-the-Art Technology

Abstract

The communication technology has taken a long journey starting from telegraphy to high-definition video transmission and moving toward the high-density hologram. It is noticed that the data rate has raised linearly with reduced latency as the technology has progressed from first generation to the sixth generation. 5G technology has its limitation in meeting the challenge in creating the high-density hologram and future artificial intelligence application and that's one of the reasons for the focus in the 6G technology. The terahertz frequency that will be used in 6G communication will offer a wideband channel which can support multiple gigahertz channel. Terahertz communication in 6G can support data rate of terabits per second and the latency in 5G can be reduced to one tenth compared to the 6G. This chapter focuses on architecture, necessary hardware requirement, use cases, and deployment of machine learning/artificial intelligence algorithms for certain applications of interest.
