Abstract

The accurate prediction of radio wave propagation is extremely important for wireless network planning and optimization. However, inexact matching between the traditional empirical model and actual propagation environments, as well as the insufficiency of the sample data required for training a deep learning model, lead to unsatisfactory prediction results. Our paper proposes a field strength prediction model based on a deep neural network that is aimed at a tiny dataset composed of the geographic information and corresponding satellite images of a target area. This model connects two pretrained networks to minimize the parameters to be learned. Simultaneously, we construct a convolutional neural network (CNN) model for comparison based on a previous advanced study in this field. Experimental results show that the proposed model can obtain the same accuracy as that of previously developed CNN models while requiring less data.
