A Novel 6G based Antenna System for Marine Communication

Abstract

The work discussed proposes a novel 6G based antenna system using Intelligent Reflecting Surface (IRS) for efficient communication over the ocean. Offshore people in travel, fishing or staying as part of their work have no facility for communication using cellular or Wi-Fi networks. Even the information about the warnings depending upon the sea states could not be passed due to the lack of an efficient communication system. So using IRS assisted MIMO systems with line of sight communication having terahertz antennas, placed on the ships/boats/fishing vessels/any other structures could ensure complete coverage and connectivity for the people offshore.
