Abstract

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.

Claims (50)

1. A method of wireless communication by a communications device, comprising:

requesting 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;

inputting the cellular channel state information measurements to an artificial neural network;

predicting weather conditions with the artificial neural network based on the cellular channel state information measurements; and

adjusting communications with a remote device based on the predicted weather conditions.

2. The method of claim 1 , in which adjusting the communications comprises adjusting a transmit power.

3. The method of claim 1 , in which adjusting the communications comprises activating a supplemental base station.

4. The method of claim 1 , in which adjusting the communications comprises adjusting a beamforming codebook.

5. The method of claim 1 , in which adjusting the communications comprises changing a frequency band for communications.

6. The method of claim 1 , in which adjusting the communications comprises controlling a data rate by adjusting a modulation and coding scheme (MCS).

7. The method of claim 1 , in which adjusting the communications comprises adjusting a path loss estimate to further adjust the communications.

8. The method of claim 1 , in which the reporting occurs while a data connection does not exist.

9. The method of claim 1 , in which the communications device comprises a base station.

10. The method of claim 1 , in which the communications device comprises a user equipment (UE).

11. 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.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , in which the processor causes the apparatus to adjust the communications by adjusting a transmit power.

13. The apparatus of claim 11 , in which the processor causes the apparatus to adjust the communications by activating a supplemental base station.

14. The apparatus of claim 11 , in which the processor causes the apparatus to adjust the communications by adjusting a beamforming codebook.

15. The apparatus of claim 11 , in which the processor causes the apparatus to adjust the communications by changing a frequency band for communications.

16. The apparatus of claim 11 , in which the processor causes the apparatus to adjust the communications by controlling a data rate to adjust a modulation and coding scheme (MCS).

17. The apparatus of claim 11 , in which the processor causes the apparatus to adjust the communications by adjusting a path loss estimate to further adjust the communications.

18. The apparatus of claim 11 , in which the processor causes the apparatus to report while a data connection does not exist.

19. The apparatus of claim 11 , in which the communications device comprises a base station.

20. The apparatus of claim 11 , in which the communications device comprises a user equipment (UE).

21. A communications device for wireless communications, comprising:

means for requesting 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;

means for inputting the cellular channel state information measurements to an artificial neural network;

means for predicting weather conditions with the artificial neural network based on the cellular channel state information measurements; and

means for adjusting communications with a remote device based on the predicted weather conditions.

22. The communications device of claim 21 , in which the means for adjusting the communications comprises means for adjusting a transmit power.

23. The communications device of claim 21 , in which the means for adjusting the communications comprises means for activating a supplemental base station.

24. The communications device of claim 21 , in which the means for adjusting the communications comprises means for adjusting a beamforming codebook.

25. The communications device of claim 21 , in which the means for adjusting the communications comprises means for changing a frequency band for communications.

26. The communications device of claim 21 , in which the means for adjusting the communications comprises means for controlling a data rate to adjust a modulation and coding scheme (MCS).

27. The communications device of claim 21 , in which the means for adjusting the communications comprises means for adjusting a path loss estimate to further adjust the communications.

28. The communications device of claim 21 , in which the reporting occurs while a data connection does not exist.

29. The communications device of claim 21 , in which the communications device comprises a base station.

30. The communications device of claim 21 , in which the communications device comprises a user equipment (UE).

31. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having program code recorded thereon, the program code executed by a communications device and comprising:

program code 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;

program code to input the cellular channel state information measurements to an artificial neural network;

program code to predict weather conditions with the artificial neural network based on the cellular channel state information measurements; and

program code to adjust communications with a remote device based on the predicted weather conditions.
