Neural-network-based link-level performance prediction

A method for wireless communications, comprising:

• identifying, at a second device, a channel for communicating with a first device;
• transmitting, to the first device, one or more reference signals on the channel;
• receiving, from the first device, one or more feedback indicators associated with the channel and based at least in part on one or more link performance metrics and transmitting the one or more reference signals;
• determining one or more parameters of the channel based at least in part on the one or more feedback indicators;
• and
• communicating, with the first device, based at least in part on determining the one or more parameters of the channel.

An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:

• a processor, memory coupled with the processor;
• and instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• identify, at a first device, a channel for communicating with a second device;
• determine one or more neural network weights associated with one or more input parameters associated with the channel based at least in part on the first device measuring one or more reference signals received on the channel;
• estimate one or more link performance metrics associated with the channel based at least in part on the one or more neural network weights and the one or more input parameters;
• and
• transmit, to the second device, one or more feedback indicators associated with the channel based at least in part on the one or more link performance metrics.
