An Overview of Ongoing Activities in the Field of Channel Modeling, Spectrum Allocation and Standardization for mm-Wave and THz Indoor Communications

This paper gives an overview of current issues in the field of mm-wave and THz communications. A concept for radio channel modeling is presented together with the latest channel investigation results in this frequency range. In addition we discuss the status quo of standardization activities and the worldwide ongoing spectrum allocation plans.
