This repository contains the code to generate the results for the paper M. Polese, J. Jornet, T. Melodia, M. Zorzi, “Toward End-to-End, Full-Stack 6G Terahertz Networks”, https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.07989, 2020.

Please cite the paper if you plan to use the scripts in your publication.

The scripts are organized in three folders:

• matlab-channel-coverage contains the MATLAB code that implements the channel models from [1] and [2], and generates Fig. 2a and Fig. 3 of the paper.
• matlab-initial-access-latency containts the MATLAB code to generate Fig. 2b, based on the model from [3]
• ns-3-thz contains the mmWave and terahertz scripts for the ns-3 scenarios. To use them, clone the ns-3 mmWave module and place the ns-3 TeraSim module in the contrib folder. The scripts can go in the scratch folder or can be added as examples in the thz or mmWave module folders. We also provide the sem scripts that can be use to automatically run the simulations and analyze the results for Fig. 4 and 5 of the paper.
