1. A device, comprising:
communication circuitry; and
processing circuitry to:
receive, via the communication circuitry, a link quality prediction (LQP) request from a requesting entity, wherein the LQP request is a request to predict a future quality of a radio link between a mobile device and a network;
predict, based on motion data for the mobile device and radio coverage data for the network, a future path of the mobile device and the future quality of the radio link along the future path, wherein the radio coverage data indicates estimated radio coverage across the network at different locations and times; and
send, via the communication circuitry, a link quality prediction (LQP) response to the requesting entity, wherein the LQP response includes one or more link quality predictions indicating the predicted future quality of the radio link between the mobile device and the network, wherein each link quality prediction includes:
a time at which a particular link quality prediction applies;
a type of metric predicted by the particular link quality prediction; and
a value for the type of metric predicted by the particular link quality prediction.
