초록

경로 손실(Path Loss)을 예측하는 것은 셀룰러 네트워크(Cellular Network)에서 기지국(Base Station) 의 설치 위치 선정 등 무선망 설계에 중요한 요인 중 하나다. 기존에는 기지국의 최적 설치 위치를결정하기 위해 수많은 현장 테스트(Field Tests)를 통해 경로 손실 값을 측정했다. 따라서 측정에 많은 시간이 소요된다는 단점이 있었다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 머신러닝(Machine Learning, ML) 기반의 경로 손실 예측 방법을 제안한다. 특히, 경로 손실 예측 성능을 향상시키기 위해서 앙상블 학습(Ensemble Learning) 접근법을 적용하였다. 부트스트랩 데이터 세트(Bootstrap Dataset)을 활용하여 서로 다른 하이퍼파라미터(Hyperparameter) 구성을 갖는 모델들을 얻고, 이 모델들을 앙상블하여 최종 모델을 구축했다. 인터넷상에 공개된 경로 손실 데이터 세트를활용하여 제안하는 앙상블 기반 경로 손실 예측 방법과 다양한 ML 기반 방법들의 성능을 평가 및비교했다. 실험 결과, 제안하는 방법이 기존 방법들보다 우수한 성능을 달성하였으며, 경로 손실 값을 가장 정확하게 예측할 수 있다는 것을 입증하였다.

Abstract

Predicting path loss is one of the important factors for wireless network design, such as selecting the installation location of base stations in cellular networks. In the past, path loss values were measured through numerous field tests to determine the optimal installation location of the base station, which has the disadvantage of taking a lot of time to measure. To solve this problem, in this study, we propose a path loss prediction method based on machine learning (ML). In particular, an ensemble learning approach is applied to improve the path loss prediction performance. Bootstrap dataset was utilized to obtain models with different hyperparameter configurations, and the final model was built by ensembling these models. We evaluated and compared the performance of the proposed ensemble-based path loss prediction method with various ML-based methods using publicly available path loss datasets. The experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the existing methods and can predict the path loss values accurately.
