无线传播建模在通信研究中至关重要,因无线信道由环境物体的复杂交互形成。近年来,机器学习被视为计算成本高昂的射线追踪工具(如点对点射线追踪)的替代方案,后者可详细模拟交互过程。然而,现有机器学习方法通常直接学习特定信道特征(如覆盖图),导致高度依赖频率和材料属性,难以完整捕捉传播机制。因此,点对点射线追踪仍被广泛用于准确识别收发节点间的所有可能路径。但路径识别计算成本极高,因待测试路径数随场景呈指数增长,而有效路径仅占极小比例。本文提出一种机器学习辅助的射线追踪方法,通过高效采样潜在射线路径,大幅降低计算负载并保持高精度。模型动态学习优先选择可能有效的路径,并随场景复杂度线性扩展。与现有方法不同,该方法对几何的平移、缩放、旋转保持不变性,且不依赖特定环境特征。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Radio propagation modeling is essential in telecommunication research, as radio channels result from complex interactions with environmental objects. Recently, Machine Learning has been attracting attention as a potential alternative to computationally demanding tools, like Ray Tracing, which can model these interactions in detail. However, existing Machine Learning approaches often attempt to learn directly specific channel characteristics, such as the coverage map, making them highly specific to the frequency and material properties and unable to fully capture the underlying propagation mechanisms. Hence, Ray Tracing, particularly the Point-to-Point variant, remains popular to accurately identify all possible paths between transmitter and receiver nodes. Still, path identification is computationally intensive because the number of paths to be tested grows exponentially while only a small fraction is valid. In this paper, we propose a Machine Learning-aided Ray Tracing approach to efficiently sample potential ray paths, significantly reducing the computational load while maintaining high accuracy. Our model dynamically learns to prioritize potentially valid paths among all possible paths and scales linearly with scene complexity. Unlike recent alternatives, our approach is invariant with translation, scaling, or rotation of the geometry, and avoids dependency on specific environment characteristics.
