Terahertz (THz) communication suffers from low coverage due to the harsh propagation loss, blockage vulnerability, and hardware constraints.
To overcome this limitation, the research team led by Professor Junil Choi proposed a communication framework exploiting cooperative communication and rate-splitting multiple access.
The proposed framework and techniques have shown to successfully increase coverage in THz frequency bands.
