Wellcome to our project PathFinder.
PathFinder: Advancing Path Loss Prediction for Single-to-Multi-Transmitter Scenario.
Fig. 7: Visualization of performance of different models when the number of transmitters is 4.
When the number of transmitters reaches four, as shown in Fig. 7, the generalization capabilities of all baseline models have nearly failed, particularly for AE and RadioUNet. PMNet and REM-Net perform relatively better, but even in straightforward building distribution scenarios, they still struggle to predict clear path loss boundaries. In contrast, PathFinder retains a certain clarity in path loss boundaries across various situations, especially when the building distribution is simpler (as in Sample 1), with an MSE of only 0.0006, indicating that the model's predictions closely align with the true targets.
Fig. S1 displays the prediction results of all baseline methods alongside our model across different samples.
