Radio (NR) adaptation of cellular network configuration in response to machine learning based weather prediction

An apparatus for wireless communications by a communications device, comprising:

• a processor,
• memory coupled with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and operable, when executed by the processor, to cause the apparatus:
• to request a user equipment (UE) to report cellular channel state information measurements for weather prediction, the cellular channel state information measurements comprising a full channel impulse response or delay spread statistics;
• to input the cellular channel state information measurements to an artificial neural network;
• to predict weather conditions with the artificial neural network based on the cellular channel state information measurements;
• and
• to adjust communications with a remote device based on the predicted weather conditions.
