This paper investigates a novel IRS-assisted hybrid framework that seamlessly combines both THz and radio frequency (RF) technologies using a selection combining (SC) scheme, thereby enhancing system reliability. The study incorporates the deterministic and statistical properties of IRS in both RF and THz domains employing a sophisticated spatial scattering chan-nel model across generalized α - µ fading channels. Specifically, the exact closed-form expressions for the probability density function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are derived for both THz and RF links. From this, the outage probability and average symbol error rate (SER) are derived.
