Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel solution that can improve the quality of THz transmission with systematic random linear network coding (sRLNC) and a low-bitrate auxiliary channel. To minimize complexity of channel coding, we complement a generic low complexity FEC code by a low complexity sRLNC. To increase the overall throughput of THz transmission, we propose to send the native data and coding redundancy in parallel over 2 differently configured THz channels, i.e., over 1 high bit rate main channel and 1 low bit rate low error rate auxiliary channel. The results show, that the main THz channel supported by low bit rate auxiliary channel can use a higher level modulation format and sent over longer distances with a higher throughput.
