Multi-hop Sub-THz-FSO: A Technique for High-rate Uninterrupted Backhauling in 6G

Moving towards $6^{\text{th}}$ generation (6G), backhaul networks require significant improvements to support new use-cases with restricted joint capacity and availability requirements. In this paper, we investigate the potentials and challenges of joint sub-teraHertz (sub-THz) and free space optical (FSO), in short sub-THz-FSO, multi-hop networks as a candidate technology for future backhaul communications. As we show, with a proper deployment, sub-THz-FSO networks have the potential to provide high-rate reliable backhauling, while there are multiple practical challenges to be address before they can be used in large-scale.
