Due to having a large bandwidth to support Gbps-level data rate,terahertz communication attracts more and more attention in recent years.However,there are few medium access control(MAC)protocols for terahertz ultra-high data-rate wireless networks,which affects the research and application of terahertz communications.To address this problem and to achieve ultra-high data-rate wireless access with terahertz communication,a novel MAC protocol,called medium access control for terahertz communication(MAC-TC),is proposed.Through designing a new channel access scheme,a new superframe structure,and related key parameters,MAC-TC can support a maximum data rate up to 10 Gbit/s even higher.Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that our proposed MAC protocol realizes the function of medium access control and attains a maximum data rate of 18.3 Gbit/s,which is 2 times higher than 5.78 Gbit/s,the theoretical maximum data rate of IEEE 802.15.3c standard.
