Wireless technology is expected to undergo considerable transformation because of the numerous services offered by 6G communication networks, which virtually entirely encompass every part of everyday life and use a variety of devices. Channel modeling is an essential factor in designing 6G communication networks. To meet the channel requirements of future 6G communication networks, it is crucial to measure the channel to consider path loss, multi-band, fading, blocking effect, multipath clustering, transmitter, and receiver moving speed/direction/time. The goal of this paper is to design and evaluate a 6G communication network in Banda Aceh City using a statistical channel model. The channel model is associated with environmental conditions such as rainfall and humidity. The method is then based on computer simulation using the NYUSIM simulator to complete the channel modeling using an operating frequency of 95 GHz with a bandwidth of 800 MHz. In the simulator, the designed 6G channel model is evaluated in both line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) network environments. In addition, the designated network parameters, such as the coverage area, angle of arrival (AoA), angle of departure (AoD), and power delay profile (PDP), are simulated. The results, at AoA, the value of received power for LOS conditions ranges from -86 dBm to -101 dBm, while the value for NLOS conditions ranges from -91 dBm to -111 dBm. Under LOS conditions, the received power for AoD ranges from -86 dBm to -101 dBm, whereas under NLOS conditions, it ranges from -91 dBm to -111 dBm. In the omnidirectional PDP, the pathloss value for the LOS condition is 99.8 dB and the delay is 17.9 ns, while the pathloss value for the NLOS condition is 104.2 dB with a delay of 28.1 ns. For the directional PDP, the LOS condition yields a path loss of 106.4 dB and a delay of 2.9 ns, while the NLOS condition yields a path loss of 110.5 dB and a delay of 3 ns. Conclusions. The simulation indicated that the AoA, AoD, and PDP in terms of received power, pathloss, and propagation delay are in acceptable conditions for a 6G network in Banda Aceh City in the two observed environments. Therefore, it is conceivable to establish a 6G network in Banda Aceh City in the future. © Hubbul Walidainy, Nawal Nashirah, Ramzi Adriman, Yuwaldi Away, Nasaruddin Nasaruddin, 2023
