While the focus of the wireless research community is now at mm-waves in the range of 28–73GHz with throughput of several Gbit/s, the Terahertz band, 0.1–10THz, has sufficient resource not only to satisfy the 5G requirements of 10 Gbit/s peak data rate and 1ms latency, but to enable a number of tempting applications, such as fog computing, augmented reality, and holographic communications. However, THz band brings novel challenges, never addressed at lower frequencies, which require rethinking of classic communications paradigms.
The workshop on THZCOM aims to bring together researchers, software and hardware developers from academia and industry, working in the THz communications, to present, share and discuss their latest research results. The produced scientific knowledge will lay the foundations for future multigigabit per second wireless networks in the THz frequency band.
The authors are encouraged to submit full papers (up to 6 pages) describing original, previously unpublished, complete research, not currently under review by another conference or journal. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following list.
Prospective authors are invited to submit original and previously unpublished
papers via the EDAS.
Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by at last two members of the THZCOM
2016 TPC members.
