随着对802.15.3的IEEE 802.15.3d修正案的批准，已经迈出了在亚THz频段标准化消费者无线通信的第一步。IEEE 802.15.3d提供交换式点对点连接，数据速率为100 Gb/S或更高，距离从几十厘米到几百米不等。在本文中，我们将详细介绍IEEE 802.15.3d标准以及超越该标准的关键设计原则。我们特别描述了目标应用和使用场景，以及IEEE 802.15.3d物理层和介质接入层的细节。随后，我们给出了IEEE 802.15.3d无线通信的初步性能评估结果。得到的一阶性能预测与第五代无线系统的特性相比显示出非增量的好处，从而为第六代THz网络铺平了道路。最后，我们概述了太赫兹频段无线网络的进一步标准化和监管活动。
With the ratification of the IEEE 802.15.3d amendment to 802.15.3, a first step has been made to standardize consumer wireless communications in the sub-THz frequency band. IEEE 802.15.3d offers switched point-to-point connectivity with data rates of 100 Gb/s and higher at distances ranging from tens of centimeters up to a few hundred meters. In this article, we provide a detailed introduction to IEEE 802.15.3d and the key design principles beyond the developed standard. We particularly describe the target applications and usage scenarios, as well as the specifics of the IEEE 802.15.3d physical and medium access layers. Later, we present the results of the initial performance evaluation of IEEE 802.15.3d wireless communications. The obtained first-order performance predictions show non-incremental benefits compared to the characteristics of the fifth generation wireless systems, thus paving the way toward the sixth generation THz networks. We conclude the article by outlining the further standardization and regulatory activities on wireless networking in the THz frequency band.
