It is widely accepted that nanonetworks will enable a plethora of
long-awaited applications, ranging from healthcare to homeland
security, industrial development and environmental protection.
Enabling communication among nanomachines is still a major
challenge. While it is acknowledged that there is still a long way
to go before having a fully functional nanomachine, this book makes
the case that hardware-oriented research and communication-focused
investigations will benefit from being conducted in parallel from
an early stage. Fundamentals of Electromagnetic Nanonetworks in the
Terahertz Band defines the first steps towards enabling
electromagnetic communication among nanomachines in the Terahertz
Band (0.1-10 THz). The starting point is the development of novel
graphene-based plasmonic nano-antennas, which efficiently operate
in the Terahertz Band. The authors have developed a novel Terahertz
Band channel model and investigated the potential of this frequency
band by means of a channel capacity analysis. In light of the
channel peculiarities and the nanomachine capabilities, they put
forward a set of communication mechanisms for nanonetworks, which
include femtosecond-long pulse-based modulations, low-weight
channel coding schemes, a new symbol detection scheme at the
receiver, and a new medium access control protocol for
nanonetworks. In addition, the book analyzes the performance of
perpetual nanonetworks by developing a joint energy harvesting and
energy consumption model for self-powered nanomachines. Finally, an
emulation platform has been developed to simulate a one-to-one
nano-link between nanomachines and validate the developed models.
