The technologies described herein are generally directed to modeling radio wave propagation in a fifth generation (5G) network or other next generation networks. For example, a method described herein can include based on a graphical representation of a layout of a geographic area, identifying, by equipment comprising a processor, a feature of the geographic area relevant to propagation of a signal propagated from a signal point on the layout, resulting in an identified feature. The method can further comprise based on the identified feature and the signal point, generating, by the equipment, a feature map for the geographic area by employing a neural network, wherein the feature map comprises a map depicting estimates of the propagation of the signal at locations within the geographic area.
