## Abstract (arXiv)

Accurate localized wireless channel modeling is a cornerstone of cellular network optimization, enabling reliable prediction of network performance during parameter tuning. Localized statistical channel modeling (LSCM) is the state-of-the-art channel modeling framework tailored for cellular network optimization. However, traditional LSCM methods, which infer the channel's Angular Power Spectrum (APS) from Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) measurements, suffer from critical limitations: they are typically confined to single-cell, single-grid and single-carrier frequency analysis and fail to capture complex cross-domain interactions. To overcome these challenges, we propose RF-LSCM, a novel framework that models the channel APS by jointly representing large-scale signal attenuation and multipath components within a radiance field. RF-LSCM introduces a multi-domain LSCM formulation with a physics-informed frequency-dependent Attenuation Model (FDAM) to facilitate the cross frequency generalization as well as a point-cloud-aided environment enhanced method to enable multi-cell and multi-grid channel modeling. Furthermore, to address the computational inefficiency of typical neural radiance fields, RF-LSCM leverages a low-rank tensor representation, complemented by a novel Hierarchical Tensor Angular Modeling (HiTAM) algorithm. This efficient design significantly reduces GPU memory requirements and training time while preserving fine-grained accuracy. Extensive experiments on real-world multi-cell datasets demonstrate that RF-LSCM significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods, achieving up to a 30% reduction in mean absolute error (MAE) for coverage prediction and a 22% MAE improvement by effectively fusing multi-frequency data.
