Explainable Geospatial AI for Satellite Ground Station Siting Using LiDAR-Derived Terrain Intelligence

arXiv:2607. 14127v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Representative clutter height (RCH) is a key parameter in radio propagation and interference analysis because it captures the dominant height of local obstructions that drive terminal clutter loss.

The Vienna 4G/5G Drive-Test Dataset

The Vienna 4G/5G Drive-Test Dataset is a city‑scale open dataset of georeferenced LTE and 5G NR measurements collected across Vienna, Austria. It combines passive wideband scanner observations with active handset logs, offering complementary network‑side and user‑side views of deployed radio access networks. The dataset includes inferred base‑station deployment descriptors, high‑resolution building and terrain models, and is organized into scanner, handset, estimated cell information, and city‑model components to support reproducible benchmarking in environment‑aware learning, propagation modeling, coverage analysis, and ray‑tracing calibration workflows.

Traffic Engineering in Large-scale Networks with Generalizable Graph Neural Networks

The paper introduces TELGEN, a traffic engineering algorithm that uses graph neural networks to predict an optimal TE algorithm rather than a direct solution. TELGEN generalizes across diverse network topologies and traffic patterns, achieving less than a 3% optimality gap on networks up to 5,000 nodes and 3.6 million links, while reducing solving time by up to 84% and training time by up to 79.6% compared to existing methods.

Tabular Deep Learning vs Classical Machine Learning for Urban Land Cover Classification

The paper compares classical machine learning algorithms—such as Logistic Regression, SVM, Random Forest, XGBoost, and CatBoost—with Tabular Deep Learning models (TabNet, FT-Transformer, TabTransformer, TabSeq, and 1D CNNs) for urban land cover classification using a UCI dataset derived from high‑resolution aerial imagery. It evaluates performance across nine land cover classes, addressing challenges like high dimensionality, heterogeneous features, and class imbalance by applying weighted cross‑entropy loss for deep models and measuring accuracy, macro‑precision, macro‑recall, macro‑F1, AUC‑ROC, and confusion matrices. Results indicate that while tree ensembles remain strong baselines, Tabular Deep Learning can match or surpass them when non‑linear interactions are prominent and imbalance handling is effective.
