The IEEE Toronto Chapter is delighted to host Dr. Behrooz Makki, a Senior Researcher with Ericsson Research, Gothenburg, Sweden. In his work, Dr. Behroooz studies the potentials and the challenges of hybrid free-space optics (FSO)/ terahertz (THz) based communications as a potential tool for high-rate reliable backhauling in 6G. He studies the effect of different data transmission models and parameters such as atmospheric turbulence and pointing error impairments on the performance of FSO/THz systems, and compares the results with those obtained in the cases with only the FSO or the THz links. The presented results indicate that, with a proper switching method, the joint implementation of the FSO/THz links improves the rate/reliability of the backhaul links with limited switching overhead.
