Discussions have begun worldwide toward Beyond 5G/6G in the 2030s. In these challenges, the topic of intelligence is a controversial point on various layers of RAN (radio-access-network), core, edge, automation, etc. One of the ideas on that topic is a digital twin platform that integrates physical and cyberspace. This study focuses on the RAN side as the data input to the digital twin. Mainly, this paper proposes a method to obtain accurate coverage data and store it in cyberspace in a dynamically changing coverage environment. Besides, we implement the proposed method and evaluate its measurement results and effectiveness in an outdoor proof-of-concept field.
