内容摘要：

Over the last decade, wireless data traffic has drastically increased due to a change in the way today’s society creates, shares and consumes information. This change has been accompanied by an increasing demand for higher speed wireless communication anywhere, anytime. Following this trend, wireless multi-Gigabit-per-second (Gbps) and Terabit-per-second (Tbps) links are expected to become a reality within the next five to ten years. In this context, Terahertz(THz)-band (0.1-10 THz) communication is envisioned as a potentially key technology to satisfy the need for much higher wireless data rates. The THz-band provides a huge transmission bandwidth, which ranges from hundreds of GHz up to a few THz. Nevertheless, this bandwidth comes at the cost of a very high pass loss, and, as a result, highly directional antennas are needed simultaneously in transmission and reception to establish a communication link beyond a few meters. Existing data-link layer and network layer protocols for lower frequency bands cannot be directly utilized, because they do not capture the peculiarities of the THz band or the need to support multi Giga-bit-per-second and even Tera-bit-per-second links. In this talk I will describe part of my work on addressing the aforementioned issues, such as data-link layer protocol and relaying strategies for THz communication networks.
