Abstract(in English) This study experimentally evaluates a tradeoff between prediction accuracy and the number of points on a millimeter-wave (mmWave) link quality prediction method using point clouds and machine learning. In high-frequency radio communications such as mmWave communications, link quality is greatly attenuated when the line-of-sight (LOS) communication path is blocked by a human body or a vehicle. A method using point clouds, which represent a set of points in a three-dimensional space, and machine learning has been proposed as a technique for predicting LOS blockage. While point clouds can accurately capture the 3D space with fewer privacy concerns, they require a large amount of data and computation. In this study, we applied random downsampling, a primitive but effective method for reducing the number of points, to point clouds acquired by LiDAR to reduce the data volume of point clouds, and evaluated the relationship between the reduction ratio and prediction accuracy. Experimental evaluation in an indoor environment showed that even when the number of points in the point cloud is reduced to about 1%, a large attenuation in mmWave throughput induced by human blockage can be predicted.
