THz Networks with Intelligent Control and Digital Twining
摘要
6G campus networks are expected to include various new features compared to traditional 4G and 5G private network deployment, such as exploiting terahertz (THz) frequency bands and optimizing real-time networks. Furthermore, to enable future-proof network control, the network digital twin (NDT) reference architecture can be exploited to create an autonomic network system that provides intent-based interfaces and offers a complete adaptive network control tailored for campus network applications. This chapter presents the THz network control challenges and introduces a digital twin (DT)-based architecture to support THz systems. Some application scenarios are presented and discussed, ranging from direct (LOS) communication to multi-hop reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted mesh networks.
