The mmWave WiGig frequency band can support high throughput and low latency emerging applications. In this context, accurate prediction of channel gain enables seamless connectivity with user mobility via proactive handover and beamforming. Machine learning techniques have been widely adopted in literature for mmWave channel prediction. However, the existing techniques assume that the indoor mmWave channel follows a stationary stochastic process. This paper demonstrates that indoor WiGig mmWave channels are non-stationary where the channel’s cumulative distribution function (CDF) changes with the user’s spatio-temporal mobility. Specifically, we show significant differences in the empirical CDF of the channel gain based on the user’s mobility stage, namely, room entering, wandering, and exiting. Thus, the dynamic WiGig mmWave indoor channel suffers from concept drift that impedes the generalization ability of deep learning-based channel prediction models. Our results demonstrate that a state-of-the-art deep learning channel prediction model based on a hybrid convolutional neural network (CNN) long-short-term memory (LSTM) recurrent neural network suffers from a deterioration in the prediction accuracy by 11–68% depending on the user’s mobility stage and the model’s training. To mitigate the negative effect of concept drift and improve the generalization ability of the channel prediction model, we develop a robust deep learning model based on an ensemble strategy. Our results show that the weight average ensemble-based model maintains a stable prediction that keeps the performance deterioration below 4%.
