摘要：

Terahertz (THz)-band (0.1-10 THz) communication is envisioned as a key wireless technology of the next decade, able to support up to multi-Terabit-per-second wireless links in 6G systems. Parallel with the design of THz devices, simulation tools are needed to expedite the development of communication protocols tailored to THz paradigm. In this paper, TeraSim, an extension for ns-3 to simulate THz communication networks, is presented. TeraSim defines and implements separate modules for the THz channel and the physical and link layers. It enables the design and testing of higher layers of the protocol stack without delving with the lower layers technologies.
