Abstract

Terahertz wireless communications-based peer-to-peer communications methods and systems are provided. A system may comprise at least two monitoring nodes. A monitoring node may include a terahertz transceiver for transmitting and receiving monitoring data and connection request information. A monitoring node may be connected to a control module for use in controlling the monitoring node. A monitoring node may be connected to a terahertz transceiver. The system may provide increased transmission capacity, improved directionality of wireless communications, and peer communications between monitoring nodes.
