| contents | In this work, in the THz UMa, extensive channel measurements are conducted and an accurate channel model is developed by combining ray-tracing, computer vision (CV), and statistical methods. Specifically, substantial channel measurement campaigns with distances up to 410~m are conducted at 220~GHz, with nanosecond-level absolute time synchronization. Based on the measurement results, the propagation phenomena are analyzed in detail and the channel characteristics are calculated and statistically modeled. Furthermore, a digital twin enabled channel model (DTECM) is proposed, which generates THz channel responses in a hybrid manner. Specifically, the dominant paths are generated deterministically by using the ray-tracing technique and CV methods. Apart from the path gains determined by ray-tracing, the additional foliage loss is accurately modeled based on foliage information extracted from panoramic pictures. To maintain a low computational complexity for the DTECM, non-dominant paths are then generated statistically. Numeric results reveal that compared to the traditional statistical channel models, the DTECM reduces the path loss modeling error from 14~dB to 4~dB, showing its great superiority. Furthermore, a preliminary link performance evaluation using the DTECM indicates that THz UMa is feasible, though requiring high antenna gains and coverage extension techniques to achieve high spectral efficiencies and wide coverage. |
