Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, a device, and a storage medium for performance prediction of a communication waveform in a communication system. The method includes measuring, by a receiver, an actual SNR distribution of a communication link between a transmitter and the receiver; further includes evaluating, by a waveform performance prediction device, a normalized minimum SNR shift required for the communication waveform to operate, where the normalized minimum SNR shift is obtained based on a normalized SNR distribution using a neural network (NN), the normalized SNR distribution corresponding to the actual SNR distribution; and further includes, according to the normalized minimum SNR shift, obtaining, by a waveform performance prediction device, an actual minimum SNR shift for the actual SNR distribution, where according to the actual minimum SNR shift, the communication system is adjusted for operation.
