Key Points

  • The paper introduces HR-GAT, a hierarchical resolution graph attention network model designed to predict wireless spectrum demand using geospatial data.
  • HR-GAT addresses complex spatial demand patterns and spatial autocorrelation issues that hinder traditional machine learning models, resulting in better generalization.
  • Tested on data from five major Canadian cities, HR-GAT achieved a 21% improvement in prediction accuracy compared to eight baseline models.
  • This advancement supports more efficient spectrum management and informed spectrum sharing policies in the face of growing wireless connectivity needs.

Abstract:The surge in wireless connectivity demand, coupled with the finite nature of spectrum resources, compels the development of efficient spectrum management approaches. Spectrum sharing presents a promising avenue, although it demands precise characterization of spectrum demand for informed policy-making. This paper introduces HR-GAT, a hierarchical resolution graph attention network model, designed to predict spectrum demand using geospatial data. HR-GAT adeptly handles complex spatial demand patterns and resolves issues of spatial autocorrelation that usually challenge standard machine learning models, often resulting in poor generalization. Tested across five major Canadian cities, HR-GAT improves predictive accuracy of spectrum demand by 21% over eight baseline models, underscoring its superior performance and reliability.
