Fig3. Satellite Communication Networks: Interference Analysis
[Description]
We conduct interference analysis for satellite communication networks by modeling and quantifying aggregate interference from coexisting systems under realistic deployment and propagation conditions. Based on metrics such as I/N and SINR, we evaluate protection criteria compliance and derive insights to support spectrum sharing, interference mitigation, and reliable network operation.

Fig3. Radio Propagation Path Loss Prediction Model
[Description]
Accurate path loss modeling is a fundamental requirement for efficient wireless network design, interference analysis, and coverage optimization. Traditional statistical and empirical models—such as Modified Hata and ITU-R P.2108—often face limitations in capturing the complex propagation dynamics of high-density urban and residential environments due to their simplified physical assumptions. To address these challenges, this research develops data-driven path loss prediction models leveraging deep learning architectures. By training on empirical measurement data integrated with environmental context, such as building density and terrain features, the proposed models achieve significantly higher explanatory power and superior predictive precision (MSE) compared to conventional methods across diverse urban scenarios.
