Entering the path towards terabit/s wireless links

Wireless communications has been a hot area of technology advancement for the past two decades. As long as memory sizes increase, the demand for higher data rates of communications increases on the same scale. This means that one must understand today's high-end 10 Gbit/s wireless technology to get prepared for 100 Gbit/s and 1 Tbit/s data rates of tomorrow. This paper presents key boundary conditions learned by understanding leading edge wireless links of today to prepare for the Tbit/s technology of the year 2020.
