Terahertz (THz) transmission technologies hold significant potential for enabling ultra-broadband, short-range communication in next-generation networks. Despite the vast bandwidth, THz signals suffer from limited transmission range and a feasible scenario is to deploy THz within clustered heterogeneous networks (HetNets) to enhance coverage. This paper investigates THz communication in clustered HetNets, leveraging stochastic geometry for performance analysis. Specifically, we consider two tiers of macro base stations (MBS) and small base stations (SBS). The MBS tier is modeled as a Poisson Point Process (PPP), and both the SBS tier and users are modeled as a Poisson Cluster Process (PCP) to capture user clustering and network hotspots. We derive the analytical expressions for user association probabilities, the Laplace transform of interference, and the coverage probability. The derived coverage probability is validated through Monte Carlo simulation. The numerical results show that the coverage in THz PCP-HetNets is higher than that achieved in THz PPP HetNets. In addition, a moderate spatial spread of SBSs is beneficial for coverage.
Cell-free massive MIMO promises uniformly high performance by combining densely distributed radio units, coherent transmission, and centralized processing. Unlike earlier radio generations, it depends on dense fronthaul connectivity and a virtualized cloud-RAN architecture. In th…
Lunar PNT architectures, NASA's Lunar Augmented Navigation Service (LANS), ESA's Moonlight, and allied concepts, place a small number of satellites in elliptical lunar frozen orbits (ELFO) to serve the south-polar region prioritized for exploration. We report a result that refram…
Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) are emerging as a key technology for sixth-generation (6G) wireless networks due to their ability to dynamically control the propagation environment. To ensure favorable Line-of-Sight (LoS) conditions in real-world applications, the RIS i…
The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and wearable health monitors has created an urgent demand for ultra-low-power analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). Successive approximation register (SAR) ADCs are widely used in such applications, yet their energy efficiency…
We study a dynamic strategic communication problem in which a sender controls the timing of truthful updates from binary continuous-time Markov sources. The receiver chooses between a zero-order-hold estimator that follows the sender's updates and a prior-only default estimator,…
