Summary
Terahertz (THz) waves are electromagnetic waves that vary in the range of 0.1 – 10 THz in the electromagnetic spectrum. It is a band gap that is underexplored and open to new research topics. Filling the gap between radio and optical frequency ranges, THz technology is a promising technology for next-generation wireless networks. It causes less damage to tissues than X-rays. When it comes to vehicular communication, the technologies used for vehicular communication today have begun to be insufficient in the rapidly increasing data traffic. New technologies are needed to support less latency, higher reliability, and more users. THz technology is considered to be a candidate technology that can meet these specifications. In this paper, the effects of environmental factors such as reflection, scattering and absorption on the transmission in different specific THz vehicular communication scenarios are investigated. The opportunities and drawbacks brought by the THz band for vehicular communication are also introduced.
