The forthcoming fifth-generation networks require improvements in cognitive radio intelligence, going towards more smart and aware radio systems. In the emerging radio intelligence approach, the empowerment of cognitive capabilities is performed through the adoption of machine learning techniques. This paper investigates the combined application of the convolutional and recurrent neural networks for the channel state information forecasting, providing a multivariate scalar time series prediction by taking into account the multiple factors dependence of the channel state conditions. Finally, the system performance has been analyzed in terms of prediction accuracy expressed as absolute deviation error and mean percentage error, in comparison with an alternative machine learning method recently proposed in the literature with the aim at solving the same prediction problem.
