- 用解析式波束图解耦天线辐射与多径传播,避免神经网络外推。
- 构建首个支持32×32阵列的7.8万张无线地图数据集,覆盖800个城市场景。
- 在未见配置和环境上误差降低超50%,适合6G系统设计与仿真研究者。
上6吉赫兹(U6G)频段的超大规模多输入多输出(XL-MIMO)是第六代无线系统的关键技术,但针对此类系统的智能无线地图预测仍具挑战。现有数据集仅支持最大8×8的小规模阵列,且以全向天线为主,远低于6G设想的1024元素定向阵列。当前方法将阵列配置编码为标量参数,迫使神经网络外推特定阵列的辐射图,在训练中未出现的配置上表现不佳。本文从三方面推进XL-MIMO无线地图预测:首先构建首个包含78400张无线地图的数据集,覆盖800个城市场景、五个频段(1.8–6.7 GHz)及九种阵列配置,最高达32×32均匀平面阵列;其次建立全面基准框架,涵盖无需实测的覆盖估计、跨未见配置与环境的泛化等实际场景;最后提出波束图(beam map),一种物理启发的空间特征,可解析计算任意阵列的覆盖模式。通过将确定性阵列辐射与数据学习的多径传播解耦,波束图将泛化能力从神经网络外推转向物理计算。集成至现有架构后,对未见配置的平均绝对误差降低达60.0%,对未见环境的误差降低达50.5%。完整数据集与代码已公开于 https://lxj321.github.io/MulticonfigRadiomapDataset/。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The upper 6 GHz (U6G) band with XL-MIMO is a key enabler for sixth-generation wireless systems, yet intelligent radiomap prediction for such systems remains challenging. Existing datasets support only small-scale arrays (up to 8x8) with predominantly isotropic antennas, far from the 1024-element directional arrays envisioned for 6G. Moreover, current methods encode array configurations as scalar parameters, forcing neural networks to extrapolate array-specific radiation patterns, which fails when predicting radiomaps for configurations absent from training data. To jointly address data scarcity and generalization limitations, this paper advances XL-MIMO radiomap prediction from three aspects. To overcome data limitations, we construct the first XL-MIMO radiomap dataset containing 78400 radiomaps across 800 urban scenes, five frequency bands (1.8-6.7 GHz), and nine array configurations up to 32x32 uniform planar arrays with directional elements. To enable systematic evaluation, we establish a comprehensive benchmark framework covering practical scenarios from coverage estimation without field measurements to generalization across unseen configurations and environments. To enable generalization to arbitrary beam configurations without retraining, we propose the beam map, a physics-informed spatial feature that analytically computes array-specific coverage patterns. By decoupling deterministic array radiation from data learned multipath propagation, beam maps shift generalization from neural network extrapolation to physics-based computation. Integrating beam maps into existing architectures reduces mean absolute error by up to 60.0% when generalizing to unseen configurations and up to 50.5% when transferring to unseen environments. The complete dataset and code are publicly available at https://lxj321.github.io/MulticonfigRadiomapDataset/.
