Abstract

© 2017 IEEE. Current and proposed Internet of things (IoT) applications are expected to bring about a major technological revolutions. Next-generation wireless communications in such devices are expected to support high speed data transfers. Among different candidate technologies, terahertz (THz) band communication seems to be a promising direction due to availability of high bandwidth in the electromagnetic spectrum around this frequency range and its directional nature governed by the directive antennas. In this paper, we look into some networking scenarios of full-dimension multiple-input multiple-output (FD-MIMO) based THz Band indoor wireless networks to determine the number of nodes that can be connected to a base station as a function of the antenna characteristics. Furthermore, we analyze the performance of the users and network based on their ergodic capacity. Our results suggest fundamental parameters that can be used in future THz Band analysis and implementations.
