This research addresses the fundamental challenge of inferring radio maps from incomplete environmental data by decomposing prediction risk into approximation error and irreducible uncertainty. The proposed RadioDecomp framework leverages deterministic residual refinement to correct biases inherent in simplified propagation priors, significantly improving generalization across different base station configurations and environments. By treating prior-guided predictors as a correctable base, this approach advances the theoretical limits of blind prediction in wireless network planning without relying on extensive field measurements.
Rethinking Radiomap Blind Prediction with Limited Environment and Configuration Representations
arXiv:2609.11255v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Radiomap blind prediction infers radiomaps from observable representations of the propagation environment and base station (BS) configuration without field measurements. These representations are inherently incomplete and cannot uniquely determine the target radiomap. Under squared loss, we identify the conditional-mean radiomap as the population-optimal deterministic target and decompose domain risk into target-approximation error and irreducible uncertainty. The train-test risk gap motivates propagation priors as cross-domain guidance, although their partial or simplified forms may bias the attainable predictor. We therefore propose RadioDecomp, which treats a prior-guided predictor as a correctable base and uses deterministic residual refinement to learn its remaining predictable discrepancy. We instantiate RadioDecomp as RadioLSR (LoS-Shadow-Residual). Experiments under cross-configuration and cross-environment settings show that RadioLSR is especially effective for cross-configuration generalization and provides overall gains over a controlled monolithic counterpart under cross-environment generalization.
