A Novel Site-Specific Inference Model for Urban Canyon Channels: From Measurements to Modeling (2509.19275v1)

Abstract: With the rapid development of intelligent transportation and smart city applications, urban canyon has become a critical scenario for the design and evaluation of wireless communication systems. Due to its unique environmental layout, the channel characteristics in urban canyon are strongly a street geometry and building distribution, thereby exhibiting significant site-specific channel condition. However, this feature has not been well captured in existing channel models. In this paper, we propose a site-specific channel inference model based on environmental geometry, the model is parameterized using sub-6GHz channel measurements. Multipath components (MPCs) are extracted and clustered according to geometric propagation, which are explicitly derived from the influence of canyon width, thereby establishing an interpretable mapping between the physical environment and statistical characteristics of MPCs. A step-by-step implementation scheme is presented. Subsequently, the proposed site-specific channel inference model is validated by comparing second-order statistics of channels, derived from the model and measurements. The results show that the proposed model achieves high accuracy and robustness in different urban canyon scenarios.
