contents Terahertz (THz) integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) holds the potential to achieve high data rates and high-resolution sensing. Reconstructing the propagation environment is a vital step for THz ISAC, as it enhances the predictability of the communication channel to reduce communication overhead. In this letter, we propose an environment reconstruction methodology (ERM) merging reflectors of multi-targets based on THz single-sided channel small-scale characteristics. In this method, the inclination and position of tiny reflection faces of one single multi-path (MPC) are initially detected by double-triangle equations based on Snells law and geometry properties. Then, those reflection faces of multi-target MPCs, which are filtrated as available and one-order reflection MPCs, are globally merged to accurately reconstruct the entire propagation environment. The ERM is capable of operating with only small-scale parameters of receiving MPC. Subsequently, we validate our ERM through two experiments: bi-static ray-tracing simulations in an L-shaped room and channel measurements in an urban macrocellular (UMa) scenario in THz bands. The validation results demonstrate a small deviation of 0.03 m between the sensing outcomes and the predefined reflectors in the ray-tracing simulation and a small sensing root-mean-square error of 1.28 m and 0.45 m in line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight cases respectively based on channel measurements. Overall, this work is valuable for designing THz communication systems and facilitating the application of THz ISAC communication techniques.
