摘要:

滥用和过度开采自然资源造成的气候变化已经并将继续影响地球的生态系统。这一紧迫的问题导致了新技术的发展,以感测和测量有害气体排放。同时,无线通信网络的加速演进导致移动电信基础设施的更广泛部署。随着5G技术的商业化部署,研究界开始研究6G的新技术。6G的愿景之一是使用太赫兹(THz)频谱。在本文中,我们提出并探讨了利用太赫兹信号的吸收,同时用于超宽带通信和大气传感。通过使用机器学习,我们提出了如何分析信号路径损耗和功率谱密度以推断不同气候影响气体浓度的初步结果。我们的愿景是展示6G基础设施除了无线通信的主要目的外,还可以如何为气候变化感知提供传感器数据。

英文摘要:

Climate change resulting from the misuse and over-exploitation of natural resources has affected and continues to impact the planet's ecosystem. This pressing issue is leading to the development of novel technologies to sense and measure damaging gas emissions. In parallel, the accelerating evolution of wireless communication networks is resulting in wider deployment of mobile telecommunication infrastructure. With 5G technologies already being commercially deployed, the research community is starting research into new technologies for 6G. One of the visions for 6G is the use of the terahertz (THz) spectrum. In this paper, we propose and explore the use of THz spectrum simultaneously for ultrabroadband communication and atmospheric sensing by leveraging the absorption of THz signals. Through the use of machine learning, we present preliminary results on how we can analyze signal path loss and power spectral density to infer the concentration of different climate-impacting gases. Our vision is to demonstrate how 6G infrastructure can provide sensor data for climate change sensing, in addition to its primary purpose of wireless communication.
