About the cover: Parisa Hassanzadeh, a student of NYU WIRELESS, graduated with her Ph.D. and is shown at the NYU All-Uni- versity Commencement in Yankee Stadium on May 22, 2019. Parisa had the highest GPA among all graduating students at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering, and served as the Graduate Class Representative. She also received the 2019 David Goodman Research Award, given to the student in the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department who made the most significant research contribution among all ECE graduate students in the past year. The research award is named for the beloved wireless pioneer and current NYU WIRELESS Professor Emeritus, who still frequents campus regularly. Parisa gradu- ated under the advisement of Professor Elza Erkip and is slated to join the Artificial Intelligence Research Group at JP Morgan.

ABSTRACT Frequencies from 100 GHz to 3 THz are promising bands for the next generation of wireless communication systems because of the wide swaths of unused and unexplored spectrum. These frequencies also offer the potential for revolutionary applications that will be made possible by new thinking, and advances in devices, circuits, software, signal processing, and systems. This paper describes many of the technical challenges and opportunities for wireless communication and sensing applications above 100 GHz, and presents a number of promising discoveries, novel approaches, and recent results that will aid in the development and implementation of the sixth generation (6G) of wireless networks, and beyond. This paper shows recent regulatory and standard body rulings that are anticipating wireless products and services above 100 GHz and illustrates the viability of wireless cognition, hyper-accurate position location, sensing, and imaging. This paper also presents approaches and results that show how long distance mobile communications will be supported to above 800 GHz since the antenna gains are able to overcome air- induced attenuation, and present methods that reduce the computational complexity and simplify the signal processing used in adaptive antenna arrays, by exploiting the Special Theory of Relativity to create a cone of silence in over-sampled antenna arrays that improve performance for digital phased array antennas. Also, new results that give insights into power efficient beam steering algorithms, and new propagation and partition loss models above 100 GHz are given, and promising imaging, array processing, and position location results are presented. The implementation of spatial consistency at THz frequencies, an important component of channel modeling that considers minute changes and correlations over space, is also discussed. This paper offers the first in-depth look at the vast applications of THz wireless products and applications and provides approaches for how to reduce power and increase performance across several problem domains, giving early evidence that THz techniques are compelling and available for future wireless communications.

IEEE ISIT is the premier conference in information theory, and the paper was selected for recognition from over 630 final accepted manuscripts. Deep generative models have had enormous practical success in recon- struction problems with complex data such as images and text. However, mathematical analysis of these algorithms has been difficult. The paper provides a powerful new tool for understanding reconstruction with deep generative models.
