• Abstract: Accurate path loss prediction is a critical component of wireless network planning. Current path loss prediction methods typically struggle to balance the trade-off between accuracy and computational efficiency. This paper proposes the Efficient Attention Radio Map Estimation Network (EA-RMENet) which is an image data-driven, deep learning (DL) model designed for radio map estimation (RME). EA-RMENet uses a U-Net framework with an EfficientNetB5 encoder, Attention Gated (AG) skip connections, and Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling (ASPP). The EfficientNet encoder uses compound scaling to balance accuracy and efficiency. AG skip connections suppress irrelevant features, and the ASPP captures a multi-scale context. The model has a test prediction RMSE of 0.0334 on the RadioMapSeer3D dataset with an inference time of 0.022 seconds/sample. In the ICASSP 2023 Radio Map Prediction Challenge, the model ranks third with a competitive RMSE of 0.0406 this highlights the models potential for real-world RME.

  We propose an approach to estimate the number of samples required for a model to reach a target performance. We find that the power law, the de facto principle to estimate model performance, leads to large error when using a small dataset. We introduce a novel piecewise power law (PPL) that handles the two data differently.
