For each country and region, broadband is the basis for innovation in the information industry. National broadband construction increases national competitiveness and is a necessary investment for economic development. Emerging services, such as 4K\/8K HD videos, VR\/AR, interactive games, and home cloud<\/a>, pose higher requirements for large-bandwidth broadband access.<\/p>\n When it<\/a> comes to fixed broadband (FBB),\u00a0<\/strong>both wired access and wireless access technologies<\/a> have been matured.\u00a0 The figure below illustratesthe wired access technologies: access over hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) cables, x digital subscriber line (xDSL) access over copper lines, and fiber to the x (FTTx) access over optical fibers; as well as fixed wireless access (FWA<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n FWA enables various home or enterprise terminals to directly access wireless networks through the customer-premises equipment (CPE<\/a>). FWA is a cost-efficient wireless broadband solution that offers the same service experience as the optical broadband solution does. FWA users refer to wireless broadband access devices: mainly indoor or outdoor CPEs. A CPE connects to various types of terminals through wired or Wi-Fi connections on one end and to the eNodeB or gNodeB on the other end through LTE or NR air interface<\/a> signals<\/p>\n Service types tend to be diversified on 5G networks, and FWA services can be quickly developed on existing eMBB networks. FWA and eMBB coexistence can be used to maximize network utilization. Such a network must minimize the impact on eMBB users’ experience while ensuring FWA users’ experience.<\/strong> In addition, as FWA users stay in a fixed location, differentiated processing facilitates better user experience<\/p>\n Differentiated PRB control is introduced to control the PRB usage upper limit for FWA users. This prevents FWA users from occupying excess PRB resources, which may significantly impact eMBB users’ experience. In addition, the PRB usage upper limit can be configured for eMBB users to flexibly divide available resources between FWA and eMBB, separately ensuring experience of FWA and eMBB users in heavy-load scenarios. As shown in , the figure below gNodeB dynamically adjusts the scheduling priorities of users based on the uplink and downlink PRB usages as follows:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
