摘要：
这项工作通过利用亚太赫兹频段的纳米技术创新，开启了拥有十万年历史的油漆概念的新篇章。更具体地说，本文提出了具有开创性的油漆互联网（IoP）概念，并针对嵌入油漆中并通过油漆进行通信的纳米级无线电设备，给出了全面的信道模型和容量分析。集成在油漆介质中的纳米网络设备通过多径策略进行通信，包括直射波、界面反射波和侧向波传播。评估中纳入了三种不同的油漆类型，以评估路径损耗、接收功率和信道容量。路径损耗分析表明，路径损耗随频率以及收发器之间的视距（LoS）距离呈轻微的非线性增长。值得注意的是，折射率高的油漆会导致最高的路径损耗。此外，将收发器埋设在靠近空气-油漆界面的相似深度处，随着视距距离的增加，侧向波展现出良好的性能。增加油漆层深度会导致衰减加剧，而总接收功率在靠近空气-油漆界面时表现出良好的结果，但随着埋设深度的增加而急剧下降。此外，观察到信道容量随视距距离和埋设深度的增加而显著降低，因此收发器需要彼此靠近并接近空气-油漆界面才能有效通信。比较油漆和空气介质，IoP 的信道容量与基于空气的通信信道相比大约降低了两个数量级。本文为油漆介质内 IoP 通信的潜力提供了有价值的见解，并为这一新兴领域的进一步发展奠定了基础。
英文摘要：
This work opens a new chapter in the 100,000 year-old concept of paint, by leveraging innovations in nano-technology in the sub-THz frequency range. More specifically, the groundbreaking concept of Internet of Paint (IoP) is introduced along with a comprehensive channel model and a capacity analysis for nano-scale radios embedded in paint and communicating through paint. Nano-network devices, integrated within a paint medium, communicate via a multipath strategy, encompassing direct waves, reflections from interfaces, and lateral wave propagation. The evaluation incorporates three distinct paint types to assess path losses, received powers, and channel capacity. Analysis of path loss indicates a slight non-linear increase with both frequency and Line of Sight (LoS) distance between transceivers. Notably, paints with high refractive indexes result in the highest path loss. Moreover, burying transceivers at similar depths near the Air-Paint interface showcases promising performance of lateral waves with increasing LoS distance. Increasing paint layer depth leads to amplified attenuation, while total received power exhibits promising results when in close proximity to the Air-Paint interface but steeply declines with burial depth. Additionally, a substantial reduction in channel capacity is observed with LoS distance and burial depth, so transceivers need to be close together and in proximity of the A-P interface to communicate effectively. Comparing paint and air mediums, IoP demonstrates approximately two orders of magnitude reduction in channel capacity compared to air-based communication channels. This paper provides valuable insights into the potential of IoP communication within paint mediums and offers a foundation for further advancements in this emerging field.
