Scope and Topics：
Terahertz (THz)-band (0.1–10 THz) communication is envisioned as a key wireless technology to satisfy such demand. This frequency band, which lies in between millimeter-waves and the far infrared, remains still one of the least explored regions in the EM spectrum. THz technology has been recently identified by DARPA as one of the four major research areas that could eventually have an impact on our society larger than that of the Internet itself. In China, key programs and initiatives are funded by Ministry of Science and Technology, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The THz band opens the door to a plethora of applications in very diverse domains, ranging from Terabit Wireless Personal and Local Area Networks, ultra-broadband satellite links, to wireless nanosensor networks or the Internet of Nano-Things. In this context, the development of a new communication and networking technology to support networks with “billions of connected nanosystems” has been recently identified as one of the four essential components of the next IT revolution by the Semiconductor Research Consortium and NSF.
This workshop will be held part of the IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC). The twofold mission of this workshop is to increase the visibility of THz communications and to bring together Chinese researchers from diverse disciplines that can foster and develop this very fast developing field. The workshop aims to attract researchers and academics from various fields of study, ranging from THz materials, devices and packaging, to THz communication and networking researchers.
