Research abstract
The proposed solution has a novel adaptive antenna beamforming and beam-tracking solution for large scale array antennas necessary for extreme high frequency bands such as terahertz communication. The antenna beamforming solution is coupled with an efficient network topology management function to maintain an efficiently connected network as nodes move. The approach can work in concert with legacy omni-directional networks. Finally, a disruptive tolerant network routing solution is applied to the network to provide additional resilience during dynamic network conditions.
