In particular\, the ultra-wide THz band ranging from 0.1 to 10 THz offers enormous potential to alleviate the spectrum scarcity and brea k the capacity limitation of emerging wireless systems (such as 4G-LTE and 5G NR). This will undoubtedly support epoch-making wireless applications that demand ultra-high quality service requirements and multi-terabits per second data transmission in the intelligent information society in the 20 30s\, such as terabit-per-second backhaul systems\, ultra-high-definition content streaming among mobile devices\, and virtual/augmented reality. In this talk\, I will introduce the role and importance of THz communication s for the 6G and beyond wireless networks\, while briefly describing the f undamental research on THz devices\, channels\, testbeds\, and simulators. After this\, I will give a brief summary of recent research advances in T Hz communications\, focusing on performance analysis\, spectrum allocation \, and hybrid beamforming. Finally\, I will discuss some pressing challeng es for harnessing the benefits of THz communications in the next decades.\ n\nSpeaker(s): Prof. Nan Yang\, \n\nRoom: 7180\, Bldg: Bahen Centre for In formation Technology\, University of Toronto\, Toronto\, Ontario\, Canada LOCATION:Room: 7180\, Bldg: Bahen Centre for Information Technology\, Unive rsity of Toronto\, Toronto\, Ontario\, Canada ORGANIZER:Toronto_Chapter@comsoc.org SEQUENCE:5 SUMMARY:Advancing Terahertz Communications for 6G and Beyond Wireless Era URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/422556 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><span style="font-size: 11.0pt\; font-fami ly: 'Calibri'\,sans-serif\; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin\; mso-fareas t-font-family: 'Times New Roman'\; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin\; mso -bidi-font-family: Arial\; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi\; mso-ansi-lang uage: EN-CA\; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB\; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA\;"><i mg src="https://events.vtools.ieee.org/vtools_ui/media/display/f6562e5e-a5 f7-4754-b8c5-5a55bcc9e369" alt="" width="960" height="540"></span></p>\n<p ><span style="font-size: 11.0pt\; font-family: 'Calibri'\,sans-serif\; mso -ascii-theme-font: minor-latin\; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman '\; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin\; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial\; mso- bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi\; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA\; mso-fareast-langu age: EN-GB\; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA\;">Terahertz </span><span style="fon t-size: 11.0pt\; font-family: 'Calibri'\,sans-serif\; mso-ascii-theme-font : minor-latin\; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'\; mso-hansi-the me-font: minor-latin\; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial\; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi\; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA\; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB\; mso- bidi-language: AR-SA\;">(THz) communications are envisioned as an up-and-c oming and pivotal wireless technology for the sixth generation(6G) and bey ond era.
