## Abstract (arXiv)

Wireless propagation modeling is foundational to the evaluation and design of modern communication systems. To achieve accurate wireless propagation prediction, recent learning-based approaches leverage scene geometry and materials, demonstrating promising generalization across transceiver locations and unseen scenes. However, these approaches remain largely confined to a fixed configuration of array size, receiver orientation, and transmit beam. In this work, we introduce RFWeave, a learned wireless propagation model designed to generalize across scenes, transceiver locations, and transceiver configurations. To accommodate varying array structures, RFWeave incorporates variable-length transceiver tokens that represent antenna elements individually. Furthermore, to capture the geometry between transmit and receive antenna elements, RFWeave aggregates their pairwise spatial relations into propagation tokens. A configuration-conditioned decoder predicts the spatial spectrum and received power. RFWeave is trained on a large-scale simulated dataset spanning 10,000 indoor scenes and more than 5 million channel records under diverse transceiver configurations. Extensive evaluations show that RFWeave achieves state-of-the-art performance across all evaluated generalization settings, improving spatial spectrum structural similarity (SSIM) by up to 15.7% and reducing received power mean absolute error (MAE) by up to 35.4% over the strongest baselines on unseen scenes. Additional experiments on measured DICHASUS data and in beam management further demonstrate RFWeave's broader applicability to real-world channels and downstream wireless tasks.
