Power Delay Profile (PDP) plays a crucial role in
wireless communications, providing information on multipath
propagation and signal strength variations over time. Accurate
detection of peaks within PDP is essential to identify dominant
signal paths, which are critical for tasks such as channel esti
mation, localization, and interference management. Traditional
approaches to PDP analysis often struggle with noise, low
resolution, and the inherent complexity of wireless environments.
In this paper, we evaluate the application of traditional and
modern deep learning neural networks to reconstruction-based
anomaly detection to detect multipath components within the
PDP. To further refine detection and robustness, a framework is
proposed that combines autoencoders and Density-Based Spatial
Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) clustering. To
compare the performance of individual models, a relaxed F1
score strategy is defined. The experimental results show that
the proposed framework with transformer-based autoencoder
shows superior performance both in terms of reconstruction and
anomaly detection.
