Future (beyond 5G) wireless networks will demand high throughput and low\nlatency and would benefit from greenfield, contiguous, and wider bandwidth, all\nof which THz spectrum can provide. Although THz has been envisioned to be\ndeployed in an indoor setting, with proper enforcement and planning, we can\ndraw a limited number of use cases for outdoor THz communication. THz can\nprovide high capacity and ultra-high throughput but at the cost of high path\nloss and sensitivity to device orientation/mobility.. We identify scenarios\nwhere the use of the THz spectrum for an outdoor setting is justified and their\ncritical operating parameters. We further categorize the applications based on\nthe relative mobility between the access point (AP) and user equipment (UE). We\npresent an approach for deploying THz on an outdoor framework by presenting\npreliminary technical parameter analysis for scenarios, like wireless backhaul,\nhigh-speed kiosks, and the aerial base station (ABS). Our preliminary analysis\nshows that the application for each of these scenarios is limited based on\nmultiple parameters, such as distance, device mobility, device orientation,\nuser geometry, antenna gain, and environment settings, which requires separate\nconsideration and optimization.\n
