Abstract

Coverage map estimation is fundamental in planning wireless communication systems to enhance service quality and minimize operational costs. Although traditional deterministic propagation models offer high precision, their computational costs and processing times increase exponentially, especially in urban areas. In this study, a ResNet-based Conditional Variational Autoencoder (ResNet-CVAE) architecture is proposed for rapid and accurate coverage map generation in scenarios involving multiple diffractions. In order to generate dataset, a dynamic ray-tracing code integrating Geometric Optics (GO) and the Uniform Theory of Diffraction (UTD) was developed. By processing obstacle geometry and transmitter locations as both numerical and spatial condition information, the proposed deep learning model successfully captures abrupt signal level drops and physical shadowing effects behind obstacles. Experimental results demonstrate that the ResNet-CVAE model produces high accurate results with significantly lower computational overhead compared to traditional methods and adapts effectively to complex obstacle configurations. This approach offers significant potential for real-time analysis in network planning and base station placement processes.
