Abstract

In body-centric communications, energy efficiency is the most critical parameter, while the maximum achievable data rate is not of primary concern. In this paper we present a novel modulation scheme, which can be efficiently used in body-centric terahertz (THz) nanonetworks. This scheme is a combination of the time-spread On-Off keying (TS-OOK) and the pulse position modulation (PPM). The new modulation scheme presents lower energy consumption levels at a small cost to the achievable data rate. Furthermore, another important aspect is that, due to the nature of noise in THz communications, the proposed modulation is affected in a much smaller way by the noise. Finally, we present analytical and simulation results in order to compare the new scheme with TS-OOK.
