Greetings,
We will be hosting a workshop on "Terahertz Communications, Sensing and Security" during MILCOM 2025 in Los Angeles, CA from 6 -10 Oct: https://milcom2025.ieee-milcom.org/workshop/ws08-2nd-ieee-international-workshop-terahertz-communications-sensing-and-security
Prospective authors are invited to submit high-quality, original technical papers to the workshop. Please note that the papers submitted to this workshop are subject to a peer review process.
The Call for Papers can be found at the end of this email. Please feel free to share this with your colleagues working in the field. We will shortly provide you with a link for the submission.
Call For Papers:
In the last decade, the field of sub-terahertz (0.1-0.3 THz) and terahertz (0.3-10 THz) band communication and sensing has drastically evolved. This technology has become a crucial element not only to address the needs of the forthcoming generation of communication systems, i.e., 6G and beyond, but also to provide unparalleled possibilities in developing physically secure networks. The properties of terahertz radiation (frequency, wavelength, and photon energy) have the potential to revolutionize defense communication and sensing applications. These include the ability to establish secure, high-speed data links to transmit critical information in remote and high-stress locations, all while providing unprecedented radar capabilities to detect and classify targets. However, efficient terahertz wireless requires overcoming several challenges, which include the development of compact, high-power, and energy-efficient transceivers and dynamic antenna systems; propagation and channel modeling in the near and far fields, and on the ground, in the air and in space; advanced waveform and wavefront designs, and implementing reliable MAC and network layer solutions.

The IEEE 2nd International Workshop on Terahertz Communications, Sensing, and Security will be held in conjunction with the IEEE Military Communications Conference (MILCOM) in Los Angeles, CA, USA , on October 6-10, 2025. This interdisciplinary workshop invites researchers from various fields, including terahertz materials, devices, and packaging, as well as communication, signal processing, networking, sensing, and security. We seek original, unpublished work that is not under review in other venues. The areas of interest include, among others:
Terahertz transceiver design
Terahertz antennas, antenna arrays, reflect-arrays and metasurfaces
Terahertz propagation characterization, channel modeling,
Ultra-directional beamforming and wavefront design
Ultra-broadband modulation and waveform design
Terahertz networking protocols: medium access control, relaying, routing, end-to-end reliability
Interference, spectrum sharing, and coexistence above 100 GHz
Non-terrestrial terahertz networks
Terahertz sensing: radar, localization, imaging, and spectroscopy
Joint terahertz communication and sensing techniques
Physical layer security, jamming, and eavesdropping
Secure network architectures
Experimental platforms for terahertz communications, sensing and security applications
