• Abstract: Accurately predicting directional radio maps is essential for wireless applications, yet prior approaches primarily focus on omnidirectional signals and typically treat transmitter localization and signal map reconstruction as separate tasks. In omnidirectional settings, predicting the maximum signal location often coincides with the transmitter position, which limits the need for explicit joint modeling. However, in directional propagation where angular effects, reflections, and building occlusions play critical roles, this assumption no longer holds. To address this gap, we propose SymNet, a unified framework that jointly predicts directional radio maps and transmitter locations from sparse signal measurements. SymNet incorporates a prediction head for transmitter localization alongside radio map reconstruction, enabling simultaneous learning of both tasks. This joint formulation leverages their complementary information and leads to consistent improvements over treating them separately. Experiments on challenging directional scenarios demonstrate that SymNet outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, achieving superior accuracy in both radio map reconstruction and transmitter localization.
