Deep Learning with Partially Labeled Data for Radio Map Reconstruction

In this paper, we address the problem of Received Signal Strength map reconstruction based on location-dependent radio measurements and utilizing side knowledge about the local region; for example, city plan, terrain height, gateway position. Depending on the quantity of such prior side information, we employ Neural Architecture Search to find an optimized Neural Network model with the best architecture for each of the supposed settings. We demonstrate that using additional side information enhances the final accuracy of the Received Signal Strength map reconstruction on three datasets that correspond to three major cities, particularly in sub-areas near the gateways where larger variations of the average received signal power are typically observed.Comment: 42 pages, 39 figure
