How does FWA balance the
experience of multiple services
and reduce the impact on the toC
service experience? The solution
is to use the FWA Suite tool to
perform evaluation before service
provisioning by evaluating signal
quality in real time where the services
are provisioned, and calculating the
required resources based on the
spectral efficiency of the air interface.
QoS resource scheduling can set
the upper limit of resources usable
by FWA. The toC service experience
can be ensured using priority-based
scheduling during congestion. Given Figure 9: QoS PRB control solution for multi-service networks
