EA-RMENet -- Path Loss Prediction in Urban Environments using Deep Learning

Accurate path loss prediction is a critical component of wireless network planning. Current path loss prediction methods typically struggle to balance the trade-off between accuracy and computational efficiency. This paper proposes the Efficient Attention Radio Map Estimation Network (EA-RMENet) which is an image data-driven, deep learning (DL) model designed for radio map estimation (RME). EA-RMENet uses a U-Net framework with an EfficientNetB5 encoder, Attention Gated (AG) skip connections, and Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling (ASPP). The EfficientNet encoder uses compound scaling to balance accuracy and efficiency. AG skip connections suppress irrelevant features, and the ASPP captures a multi-scale context. The model has a test prediction RMSE of 0.0334 on the RadioMapSeer3D dataset with an inference time of 0.022 seconds/sample. In the ICASSP 2023 Radio Map Prediction Challenge, the model ranks third with a competitive RMSE of 0.0406 this highlights the models potential for real-world RME.

RadioSim Agent: Combining Large Language Models and Deterministic EM Simulators for Interactive Radio Map Analysis

Deterministic electromagnetic (EM) simulators provide accurate radio propagation modeling but often require expert configuration and lack interactive flexibility. We present RadioSim Agent, an agentic framework that integrates large language models (LLMs) with physics-based EM solvers and vision-enabled reasoning to enable interactive and explainable radio map generation. The framework encapsulates ray-tracing models as callable simulation tools, orchestrated by an LLM capable of interpreting natural language objectives, managing simulation workflows, and visually analyzing resulting radio maps. Demonstrations in urban UAV communication scenarios show that the agent autonomously selects appropriate propagation mechanisms, executes deterministic simulations, and provides semantic and visual summaries of pathloss behavior. The results indicate that RadioSim Agent provides multimodal interpretability and intuitive user interaction, paving the way for intelligent EM simulation assistants in next-generation wireless system design.

Site-specific Deep Learning Path Loss Models based on the Method of Moments

This paper describes deep learning models based on convolutional neural networks applied to the problem of predicting EM wave propagation over rural terrain. A surface integral equation formulation, solved with the method of moments and accelerated using the Fast Far Field approximation, is used to generate synthetic training data which comprises path loss computed over randomly generated 1D terrain profiles. These are used to train two networks, one based on fractal profiles and one based on profiles generated using a Gaussian process. The models show excellent agreement when applied to test profiles generated using the same statistical process used to create the training data and very good accuracy when applied to real life problems.
