AI 中文摘要
数字孪生(DT)可降低工业无线网络的空中验证成本,但其效用取决于底层信道孪生体(CT)的保真度。在W波段,特定站点的射线追踪能捕获确定性传播几何,但90 GHz以上实验室正交频分复用(OFDM)测量中观测到的小尺度损伤及捕获间变异性,无法在其信道频率响应(CFR)中复现。本文提出统计一致性仿真到实验室适配(SC-SLA)框架,用于将95 GHz Sionna射线追踪CT的保真度向测试床对齐,对齐指标包括平均功率延迟轮廓(PDP)、均方根时延扩展(τ_rms)的分布,以及50 MHz采样带宽下的每个子载波统计量。SC-SLA采用受生成对抗网络(GAN)启发的循环一致性架构,生成器为ResNet,损失函数为PDP、子带PDP、τ_rms矩与分位数,以及平均CFR幅度轮廓的归一化均方误差(NMSE)等批量级信道统计损失;该框架为非对抗性,无需配对的仿真/实测样本,也无需判别器。在保留的95 GHz数据上,相较于损伤增强的射线追踪输入,SC-SLA将τ_rms的柯尔莫哥洛夫-斯米尔诺夫(KS)统计量从0.86降至0.050;相较于四种监督基线(FCNN、CNN1D、BiLSTM、UNet1D)中性能最强者,该统计量降低了44%(从0.089降至0.050)。无需重新训练,同一检查点即可泛化到92-94 GHz载波,在所有基线中实现最低的PDP和CFR幅度误差,同时减少与未校准孪生体相比的τ_rms分布失配。
英文摘要
Digital twins (DTs) can reduce over-the-air validation cost in industrial wireless networks, but their utility depends on the fidelity of the underlying channel twin (CT). At W-band, site-specific ray tracing captures deterministic propagation geometry, yet its channel frequency responses (CFRs) do not reproduce the small-scale impairments and capture-to-capture variability observed in laboratory orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) measurements above 90 GHz. This paper proposes Statistics-Consistent Sim-to-Lab Adaptation (SC-SLA), a calibration framework that improves the fidelity of a 95 GHz Sionna ray-traced CT toward that of the testbed by aligning the mean power delay profile (PDP), the distribution of root-mean-square delay spread ($τ_{\mathrm{rms}}$), and per-subcarrier statistics at 50 MHz sampling bandwidth. SC-SLA uses a generative adversarial network (GAN)-inspired, cycle-consistent architecture with ResNet generators and batch-level channel-statistics losses on the PDP, sub-band PDP, $τ_{\mathrm{rms}}$ moments and quantiles, and normalized mean-square error (NMSE) of the mean CFR-magnitude profile. The framework is non-adversarial and requires neither paired simulated/measured samples nor discriminators. On held-out 95 GHz data, SC-SLA reduces the $τ_{\mathrm{rms}}$ Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) statistic from 0.86 to 0.050 relative to the impairment-augmented ray-traced input, and by 44% (from 0.089 to 0.050) relative to the strongest of four supervised baselines (FCNN, CNN1D, BiLSTM, and UNet1D). Without retraining, the same checkpoint also generalizes to 92-94 GHz carriers, where it achieves the lowest PDP and CFR-magnitude errors among all baselines while reducing the $τ_{\mathrm{rms}}$-distribution mismatch relative to the uncalibrated twin.
