Journal ArticleDOI
Short-Range Ultra-Broadband Terahertz Communications: Concepts and Perspectives
R. Piesiewicz,Thomas Kleine-Ostmann,N. Krumbholz,Daniel M. Mittleman,Martin Koch,Joerg Schoebel,Thomas Kurner +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a directed NLOS path scheme will make a terahertz communication system robust to shadowing, and it is shown that dielectric mirrors covering only parts of the walls will significantly enhance the signal coverage in a typical indoor scenario.
Journal ArticleDOI
Challenges Toward Wireless Communications for High-Speed Railway
Bo Ai,Xiang Cheng,Thomas Kurner,Zhangdui Zhong,Ke Guan,Ruisi He,Lei Xiong,David W. Matolak,David G. Michelson,Cesar Briso-Rodriguez +9 more
TL;DR: This work discusses in detail the main differences in scientific research for wireless communications between the HSR operation scenarios and the conventional public land mobile scenarios, and the latest research progress in wireless channel modeling in viaducts, cuttings, and tunnels scenarios.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards THz Communications - Status in Research, Standardization and Regulation
Thomas Kurner,Sebastian Priebe +1 more
TL;DR: An overview over THz communications is given, summarizing current research projects, spectrum regulations and ongoing standardization activities, and the technology enabling small integrated transceivers with highly directive, steerable antennas becomes the key challenges in face of the very high path losses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scattering Analysis for the Modeling of THz Communication Systems
R. Piesiewicz,Christian Jansen,Daniel M. Mittleman,Thomas Kleine-Ostmann,Martin Koch,Thomas Kurner +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the reflectivity of smooth, optically thick materials can be modeled with Fresnel equations and a Rayleigh roughness factor calculated from the measured surface height distribution of the sample under observation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Design and Applications of High-Performance Ray-Tracing Simulation Platform for 5G and Beyond Wireless Communications: A Tutorial
TL;DR: This tutorial will be especially useful for researchers who work on RT algorithms development and channel modeling to meet the evaluation requirements of 5G and beyond technologies.
