UrbanEMF: City-Scale EMF Mapping over a Continuous Urban Area with Real-World Base-Station Deployment

Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) mapping is essential for wireless propagation modeling and are fundamental to a wide range of applications, including spectrum awareness, network planning, and integrated sensing and communication (ISAC). However, existing datasets are often limited to spatially separated 2D scenes without real base station (BS) information. To address this gap, we present UrbanEMF, a city-scale EMF mapping dataset constructed from real world urban geometry and physical BS deployments using ray tracing. Unlike conventional single scene-based datasets, UrbanEMF preserves continuous city-scale urban coverage and realistic transmitter location information. It further extends traditional 2D maps by incorporating multiple receiver heights. In addition, both aggregated received signal strength (RSS) maps and path loss maps are provided to characterize complementary aspects of the radio environment. This work provides a realistic and flexible benchmark for developing and evaluating learning-based methods in large-scale urban wireless environments.

Schumann Resonances as a tool to constrain the depth of Titan's buried water ocean: Re-assessment of Huygens observations and preparation of the EFIELD/Dragonfly experiment

Among the lines of evidence for a buried ocean on Titan is the possible detection, in 2005, by the Permittivity, Wave and Altimetry (PWA) analyzer on board the ESA Huygens probe of Schumann-like Resonances (SR). SR are Extremely Low Frequency electromagnetic waves resonating between two electrically conductive layers. On Titan, it has been proposed that they propagate between the moon's ionosphere and a salty subsurface water ocean. Their characterization by electric field sensors can provide constraints on Titan's cavity characteristics and in particular on the depth of Titan's ocean which is key to better assess Titan's habitability. For this work we have developed a numerical model of Titan's electromagnetic cavity as well as a surrogate model to conduct simulations and sensitivity analyses at a low computational cost. This surrogate model is used both to re-assess PWA/Huygens measurements and to predict the future performance of the EFIELD experiment on board the NASA Dragonfly mission. We demonstrate that the PWA/Huygens measurements, in particular due to their low spectral resolution, do not bring any meaningful constraint on Titan's ocean depth. On the other hand, the finer resolution of the EFIELD experiment and its ability to capture several harmonics of SR should provide more robust constraints on Titan's internal structure, especially if the electrical properties of the ice crust and the atmosphere can be better constrained.
