Mobile and Wireless Communication: Space Weather Threats, Forecasts, and Risk Management

Adverse space weather can pose high risks to mobile and wireless communications. Space weather forecasts can help manage the risks. This article presents three space weather forecast models that satisfy different user needs and operational constraints.
