Terahertz Frequency Bands and Integrated Sensing and Communication : key enablers for 6G use cases
Thursday, 9 June 2022, 10:30-12:00, Room A303
Session Chair:

A number of radio technologies are currently considered as potential key enablers for 6G communications systems. Among those, a combination of Terahertz (THz) frequency bands and Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) technologies promise to enable arguably the most disruptive 6G use cases, ranging from radio astronomy and earth remote sensing services, to joint radar and communications for vehicles, immersive telepresence, and interactive and cooperative robotics, just to name a few. Nevertheless, significant technical challenges still remain to be addressed in order to efficiently enable these use cases. This special session aims at bringing together world class experts from academia and industry to discuss the latest advances in THz and ISAC technologies, to identify the key gaps, and, and discuss suitable fields of application in near and longer term.
