Transform-Invariant Generative Ray Path Sampling for Efficient Radio Propagation Modeling

arXiv:2603.01655v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Ray tracing has become a standard for accurate radio propagation modeling, but suffers from exponential computational complexity, as the number of candidate paths scales with the number of objects raised to the interaction order. This bottleneck limits its use in large-scale or real-time applications, forcing traditional tools to rely on heuristics that reduce path candidates at the cost of potentially reduced accuracy. To overcome this limitation, we propose a machine-learning-assisted framework that replaces exhaustive path searching with i
