Abstract

In the 3.5 GHz citizen broadband radio service (CBRS) band, accurate path loss prediction is very important to protect the incumbent from harmful interference caused by the lower tier users. Within the current CBRS standards developed by the Wireless Innovation Forum (WInnForum), the irregular terrain model (ITM), also known as the Longley Rice model, is used for path loss calculation. However, the model does not include clutter data, and thus, it underestimates the path loss. This paper utilizes a model-aided deep learning technique with satellite images to improve path loss prediction. Numerical study shows that the proposed approach can outperform the Longley Rice model and some tuned or fitted propagation models.
