A method for reporting a beam index by a wireless device including a controller, a beam predictor, and a radio transceiver. The method incudes obtaining an indication that the wireless device is to report a beam index to an access network node and obtaining the beam index from the beam predictor by providing information of current geographic position of the wireless device and current time as input to the beam predictor. The beam predictor is trained with tuples that associate at least different geographical positions and different points in time with different beam indices. The beam predictor predicts the beam index based on the current geographic position and the current time. The method includes wirelessly reporting, using the radio transceiver, the beam index as obtained from the beam predictor to the access network node.
