无线信号地图(RM)估计旨在从稀疏测量中重建无线信号强度(RSS)的空间分布,对频谱管理、干扰抑制和定位至关重要。传统方法如插值或深度学习难以捕捉复杂传播效应,且需为每种采样模式重新训练,泛化能力弱。近期基于先验的方法虽减少部署时微调需求,但通常将先验视为简单正则项,缺乏显式发射机感知整合。本文提出RadioTrace,一种无需部署时微调的新型RM估计框架,将稀疏RSS测量值与冻结的预训练扩散先验紧密融合。该方法在去噪过程中直接嵌入发射机(Tx)位置估计,通过重构质量迭代优化坐标以指导生成过程。为增强鲁棒性,引入传播引导的K-means初始化,避免局部极小并提供几何一致的起始点。此外,我们对发射机坐标优化组件进行了随机稳定性分析,证明其在扩散采样和发射机图松弛引起的扰动下仍保持稳定。大量实验表明,RadioTrace在随机采样下性能媲美最先进学习方法,在受限区域采样下也保持强重建质量,凸显其适应性、鲁棒性与实际应用价值。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Radio map (RM) estimation aims to reconstruct the spatial distribution of wireless signal characteristics, such as received signal strength (RSS), from sparse measurements, a task that is critical for spectrum management, interference mitigation, and localization in modern wireless networks. Traditional approaches, including interpolation and deep learning, either struggle to capture complex propagation effects or require large-scale retraining for each new sampling pattern, which limits their generalization. More recently, prior-based methods have combined pre-trained generative models with measurements to reduce the need for deployment-time model fine-tuning, but they typically treat the prior as a simple regularizer and lack explicit transmitter-aware integration. In this paper, we propose RadioTrace, a novel RM estimation framework without deployment-time fine-tuning that tightly integrates sparse RSS measurements with a frozen pre-trained diffusion prior. RadioTrace incorporates transmitter (Tx) location estimation directly into the denoising loop, iteratively refining Tx coordinates based on reconstruction quality to guide the generative process. To further enhance robustness, we introduce a propagation-guided K-means initialization that mitigates poor local minima in the Tx update and provides a geometry-consistent starting point. Moreover, we provide a stochastic stability analysis for the Tx-coordinate refinement component, showing that the Tx update remains stable under perturbations induced by diffusion sampling and Tx-map relaxation. Extensive experiments demonstrate that RadioTrace achieves competitive performance with state-of-the-art learning-based methods under random sampling, and maintains strong reconstruction quality under restricted-area sampling, highlighting its adaptability, robustness, and practical relevance.
