无线信道路径损耗预测(RPP)对优化5G网络及支持物联网、智慧城市建设至关重要。然而,现有基于深度学习的RPP方法存在被动环境建模、过度依赖单基站场景、在分布外情形下泛化能力差等问题,尤其当训练与测试环境的建筑物密度或基站配置不同时表现不佳。本文指出三大核心问题:(1) 忽视基站与关键环境特征的主动建模;(2) 过度关注单基站场景而忽视真实世界多基站普及性;(3) 过分强调分布内性能而忽略分布偏移挑战。为此,我们提出PathFinder,采用解耦特征编码主动建模建筑与基站,并引入掩码引导低秩注意力机制,分别聚焦接收端与建筑区域。同时设计面向基站的Mixup增强策略以提升鲁棒性,并构建新基准S2MT-RPP,用于评估单基站训练后在多基站场景下的外推性能。实验表明,PathFinder显著优于当前最优方法,尤其在复杂多基站场景下表现突出。代码与项目主页见:https://emorzz1g.github.io/PathFinder/
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Radio path loss prediction (RPP) is critical for optimizing 5G networks and enabling IoT, smart city, and similar applications. However, current deep learning-based RPP methods lack proactive environmental modeling, struggle with realistic multi-transmitter scenarios, and generalize poorly under distribution shifts, particularly when training/testing environments differ in building density or transmitter configurations. This paper identifies three key issues: (1) passive environmental modeling that overlooks transmitters and key environmental features; (2) overemphasis on single-transmitter scenarios despite real-world multi-transmitter prevalence; (3) excessive focus on in-distribution performance while neglecting distribution shift challenges. To address these, we propose PathFinder, a novel architecture that actively models buildings and transmitters via disentangled feature encoding and integrates Mask-Guided Low-Rank Attention to independently focus on receiver and building regions. We also introduce a Transmitter-Oriented Mixup strategy for robust training and a new benchmark, single-to-multi-transmitter RPP (S2MT-RPP), tailored to evaluate extrapolation performance (multi-transmitter testing after single-transmitter training). Experimental results show PathFinder outperforms state-of-the-art methods significantly, especially in challenging multi-transmitter scenarios.
