On the Comparison of THz X-Haul Links using Generic Rain Cloud Movement

In the future mobile network, the deployment of cell sites is inevitable to support the ever-increasing demand for high data rates and the ubiquitous mobile accessibility of the end-user devices. Connecting wireless X-haul links operating at the 300 GHz instead of cabling with fibres is a promising approach to reduce the overall expenditure for mobile network operators. Rain is one of the most significant factors affecting wave propagation at THz (sub-mm) frequency spectrum. Four different THz X-haul networks are planned using the automatic planning algorithms and the impacts of the spatial and temporal changes of the rain in the given THz X-haul networks are simulated using an in-house developed simulation tool for mobile networks.
