Radio (NR) adaptation of cellular network configuration in response to machine learning based weather prediction
A communications device inputs channel state information to an artificial neural network. The communications device predicts weather conditions with the artificial neural network based on the channel state information. The communications device further adjusts communications based on the predicted weather conditions.
