6G-TERAFIT will investigate information-theoretical performance limits and concrete design principles for radio-interface (waveform and modulation) considering channel characteristics (high directional, high path loss, hardware impairments etc.) of THz bands and various constraints (distance, hardware, energy efficiency and size), and efficient error controlling mechanism (coding and retransmission).

The design of ubiquitous access with very high rates in mobile and heterogeneous network (HetNet) environments is the key to the development of future mobile networks, and so the objective of this collaborative 6G-TERAFIT is to create a knowledge transfer between the researchers and the engineers who will contribute to the design and implementation of future B5G ultra-fast networks and create the stepping stone for them to become potential leaders in the resulting scientific, technological, and industrial fields.
