In light of the technological advancements that require faster data speeds, there has been an increasing demand for higher frequency bands. Consequently, numerous path loss prediction models have been developed for 5G and beyond communication networks, particularly in the millimeter-wave and subterahertz frequency ranges. Despite these efforts, there is a pressing need for more sophisticated models that offer greater flexibility and accuracy, particularly in challenging environments.

Therefore, it has become inevitable to exploit the super-high frequency (SHF) and millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequency bands for future wireless networks due to their attractive ability to provide extremely high data rates because of the availability of vast amounts of bandwidth. However, due to the characteristics and sensitivity of wireless signals to the propagation effects in these frequency bands, more accurate path loss prediction models are vital for the planning, evaluating, and optimizing future wireless communication networks.
