Spectral efficiency prediction with artificial intelligence for enhancing carrier aggregation and proactive radio resource management

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
• receive, from a radio access network, a representation comprising a result of a calculation using a transformation function and at least one input to the transformation function;
• wherein at least one input to the transformation function comprises a location of a user equipment and at least one measurement of a radio channel;
• wherein the result of the calculation using the transformation function comprises at least one value different from values associated with the location of the user equipment, and different from values associated with the at least one measurement of the radio channel, wherein the at least one value comprises a transformation of the values associated with the location of the user equipment and the at least one measurement of the radio channel;
• determine, based on the representation and primary cell related measurements, a channel quality of at least one secondary cell or an identity of at least one secondary cell;
• and
• transmit, to the radio access network, the channel quality of the at least one secondary cell or the identity of the at least one secondary cell.
