TL;DR

A two-stream network learning a residual over an analytic prior is proposed, fusing environment and physics streams by cross-attention, and reduces RMSE by 35.3% zero-shot at unseen carriers and scenes, and by 37.6% at extrapolated 60 GHz, outperforming interpolated 10 GHz.

Abstract

Deep learning models for radio map prediction are trained and tested at the same carriers and cannot serve unseen frequencies. We propose a two-stream network learning a residual over an analytic prior, fusing environment and physics streams by cross-attention. Evaluated at the query frequency, this free-space and knife-edge prior absorbs dominant frequency scaling of pathloss, leaving a residual that varies little across bands. Across 150 ray-traced scenes and four training carriers (1.8--28 GHz), the method reduces RMSE by 35.3% zero-shot at unseen carriers and scenes, and by 37.6% at extrapolated 60 GHz, outperforming interpolated 10 GHz.

CoRF: Cross-Scene RF Synthesis by Learning Propagation and Preserving Array Physics

Existing radio-frequency (RF) neural fields fit each scene separately, making new-scene deployment measurement- and optimization-intensive. This work studies amortized cross-scene spatial spectrum synthesis, where a shared model learns propagation across scenes and instantiates an unseen scene from sparse target-scene...

Training-Free Bottleneck Width Planning for Convolutional Autoencoders

Multiscale Spectral Rate-Distortion (MS-SRD) estimates the bottleneck channels required at user-supplied spatial cuts from training images and a normalized mean-squared error (NMSE) bound, without fitting a neural network. Its covariance-tail rule is exact for shared linear block-convolutional autoencoders under square...

Structure-dependent failure modes of neural priors in acoustic full-waveform inversion

Frequency continuation does not improve every neural representation, and better velocity recovery need not imply better prediction of unseen waveforms. We compare a velocity grid with total-variation regularization, an adapted sinusoidal coordinate network (SIREN), and a frozen image generator with a full-grid residual...

Label-Free Environment Adaptation for Wireless Receivers via Physics-Informed Constraints

Adapting deep-learning receivers after deployment is challenging because ground-truth channel state and transmitted payload symbols are unavailable, while sparse pilots alone provide insufficient supervision. The orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing waveform, however, embeds physical structure that can provide la...
