The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) organizes the ITU-R Workshop on
"Applications of machine learning in radio-wave propagation prediction", which will take place in Geneva, Switzerland, on 27 May 2025 from 0900 to 1230 hours (CEST). Remote participation will be provided for this workshop.
The objective of the workshop is to consider and discuss machine learning (ML) as applied in modelling radio-wave propagation prediction, as well as its use in developing models of parameters or phenomena relevant in the prediction of radio-wave propagation. In the context of ITU, radio-wave propagation prediction models find application in spectrum sharing and compatibility studies, international coordination of spectrum use and the design of national telecommunication networks. This workshop will bring together experts in radio-wave propagation as well as experts in machine learning to explore how new approaches of machine learning could be applied to radio-wave propagation modelling and address challenges that could arise. Such challenges could include:
- Modelling of key propagation phenomena and parameters;
- The need to process very large volumes of data from different sources;
- Uncertainty within the training data;
- Model explainability.
The workshop is co-located with the meetings of ITU-R Study Group 3 and its Working Parties , which are scheduled from 26 May-6 June 2025 (see Circular Letter
3/LCCE/49 and Administrative Circular
CACE/1137), and will contribute to the work on machine learning as applicable in radio-wave propagation prediction modelling and related activities in those working parties.
Participation is open to ITU Member States, Sector Members, Associates, ITU Academia and to any individual from a country which is a member of the ITU and who wishes to contribute to the work. This also includes individuals who are members of international, regional, and national organizations. Participation in the workshop is free of charge.
The Workshop will be conducted in
English only.
