Abstract

In this paper, the authors have emphasized on the perspectives of the Terahertz channel modeling in Internet of multimedia nano things (IoMNT) networks. A modulation technique targeting body-centric network is discussed. An analogy of a real Terahertz antenna is developed within a terahertz multi-layer modelling channel for a human skin tissue. As a result, the investigation of how signals at THz frequency band interact and transmit within the skin biomaterial. The human skin model used to collect data was selected to have four layers: epidermis, dermis, blood, and hypodermis, with the depth of the layers varying between normal human body values. It is revealed from the literature that the frequency and content have a substantial impact on path failure. The estimated path loss could thus differ considerably, but for a human skin model with depths of 0.21 mm, 1.23 mm, 1.38 mm, and 3.76 mm, the frequencies of 0.5-1.5 THz at the end distance resulted in a path loss estimated about 250-350 dB.
