The terahertz wireless personal area network is a new type of central network without infrastructure, supporting data transmission rates of 10 Gb/s to 1 Tb/s, and has broad application prospects. The existing terahertz wireless personal area network(MAC) protocol and the efficient directional MAC protocol(ED-MAC) have the problem of large overhead and long time, so a fast and efficient terahertz wireless personal area network oriented MAC protocol FE-MAC(Fast and Efficient MAC protocol) is proposed in this paper. Through simulation verification, the proposed FE-MAC protocol is compared with the 802.15.3c-based terahertz MAC protocol and ED-MAC protocol, which can effectively reduce the data transmission delay between nodes and improve network throughput.
