N2 - We propose and evaluate a number of of frequency selection strategies for nano-scale devices using graphene-based nano-antennas ('graphennas'), which operate in the Terahertz band. The strategies take into account the limitations of Terahertz channel and aim to optimize the overall network transmission rate of a network of nano-devices, while maximizing various objectives. We investigate the trade-off between cases where: 1) frequency duplication within the network is allowed or prevented; 2) limiting the spread of frequencies over the entire Terahertz range is required; and 3) balancing the load between the network sink nodes is required. We compare the network performance for the different objectives proposed against a random frequency selection strategy. Our simulation study demonstrates the efficiency of the proposed algorithms and indicates their usefulness in different application scenarios.
