A Vision for Systems beyond 5G
Systems Beyond 5G - expectations:
• Unprecedented performance excellence, in the Tbps regime
• Inherently support a large dynamic range of novel usage scenarios that combine extreme data rates with agility, reliability, zero response time and AI
• Cost-efficient and flexible provision of high-speed data connections guaranteed, zeroing the ‘digital divide’
Vision:
• Extend the fibre optic systems QoE and performance reliability to wireless, by exploiting frequencies above 275GHz for access and backhaul links

THz unique challenges
• Bridge the THz ‘gap’
• Tackle the THz propagation characteristics
• Ultra wideband and extremely directional wireless links
• Absorption Loss
• Attenuation with distance
• Devise a new network information theoretic framework imposed by the new disruptive characteristics of the channel
• Design MAC protocols tailored to ‘pencil-beam’ access: challenging initial access/discovery and tracking w.r.t. complexity/delay/reliability/..

SNR and capacity depend on:
• transmission central frequency;
• transmission power allocation;
• antenna gains;
• distance between the TX and RX;
• transmission bandwidth; and
• atmospheric conditions
Assumptions and considerations
•Assume flat transmission PSD, S(f)=So
•g=100 dB
•B=125 GHz
•Standard atmospheric conditions

• For a given γ, As the transmission distance
increases, the used bandwidth will
be constrained.
• For a given d, As γ increases, the available
bandwidth also increases.
• For given Pb and γ, As the distance increases, the
achievable rate decreases.
• For given Pb and d, As γ increases, the achievable rate
increases.
