Semantic and terahertz (THz)-band communications are algorithmic and spectral enablers of future wireless networks. This work investigates deep learning-based semantic communication (DeepSC) over THz channels. We show that DeepSC models trained solely under additive white Gaussian noise generalize well to the tested THz block- and fast-fading channels when receiver-side compensation is applied. To enable fully data-driven reception, we propose a lightweight neural detector that does not require channel state information (CSI). At 0.3 THz, DeepSC outperforms a throughput-matched traditional coded communication system baseline over 0-12 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), achieving more than 50 percentage-point higher Bilingual Evaluation Understudy unigram (BLEU-1) score. The proposed pilot-free detector outperforms minimum mean square error (MMSE) equalization with both perfect and imperfect CSI and remains robust to frequency offsets up to 50 MHz, highlighting the resilience of semantic communication to THz channel impairments.
High-resolution wireless sensing has become an integral component of futuristic 6G networks alongside high-rate communication. Terahertz (THz) band enables both functions through its extremely large bandwidth, providing sub-centimeter level sensing precision and multi-gigabit dat…
Semantic Communication (SC) has emerged as a key enabler for 6G wireless systems by transmitting task-relevant meaning rather than raw data, thereby significantly reducing bandwidth consumption while preserving communication intent. In this work, we propose an end-to-end OFDM-bas…
