Abstract(in English) Wireless emulators are being developed to design and evaluate wireless systems in virtual space. To emulate various environments with high accuracy, a highly accurate propagation model is required for individual environments. In particular, the modeling of not only propagation loss but also spatiotemporal characteristics is necessary to verify fading variations due to multiple paths. Recently, machine learning methods using spherical images and building maps have been proposed as models for estimating site-specific propagation characteristics. However, information on buildings where reflections and diffractions on multiple paths occur is important for modeling spatiotemporal characteristics. These reflections and diffractions occur at various locations out of sight of the transmitter and receiver and occur in large numbers in the vicinity of the transmitter and receiver. Therefore, depending on the representation format of the buildings, there is a concern that accuracy may be degraded due to insufficient information, and the data size may be increased due to unnecessary information. This paper proposes an input format that represents buildings based on polar coordinates centered on the transmitter/receiver for estimation that takes buildings into account. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through a simulation evaluation in which the delay spread is calculated as a spatiotemporal parameter.
