System, method, and apparatus for service grouping of users to different speed tiers for wireless communication

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by an access point device comprising a processor, speed tier data assigned to a first user equipment, wherein the speed tier data is indicative of a first target data throughput associated with the first user equipment;
• in response to determining that a monitored data throughput, associated with the first user equipment, is less than the first target data throughput, assigning, by the access point device, a first priority to a first non-guaranteed bit rate bearer that is associated with the first user equipment, wherein the first priority is higher than a second priority that is to be assigned to a second non-guaranteed bit rate bearer that is associated with a second user equipment that has been assigned a second target data throughput, wherein the first target data throughput is greater than the second target data throughput, and wherein the first non-guaranteed bit rate bearer and the second non-guaranteed bit rate bearer belong to a common quality of service class;
• and
• in response to determining that the monitored data throughput is not less than the first target data throughput, assigning, by the access point device, a third priority to the first non-guaranteed bit rate bearer, wherein the third priority is lower than the second priority, and wherein the second user equipment is determined to not have exceeded the second target data throughput.

A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a system, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

• determining speed tier data indicative of respective speed tiers assigned to user equipment served by an access point device, wherein the respective speed tiers are associated with target data throughput values for communication between the user equipment and the access point device;
• in response to determining that an observed data throughput, associated with a first user equipment of the user equipment, is greater than a first value, of the target data throughput values, that corresponds to first speed tier of the speed tiers assigned to the first user equipment, assigning a first priority to a first non-guaranteed bit rate bearer that is associated with the first user equipment, wherein the first priority is lower than a second priority that is to be assigned to a second non-guaranteed bit rate bearer that is associated with a second user equipment, of the user equipment, that has been assigned a second speed tier of the speed tiers, wherein the first speed tier is higher than the second speed tier, wherein the second user equipment is determined to not have exceeded a second value of the target data throughput values that corresponds to the second speed tier, and wherein the first non-guaranteed bit rate bearer and the second non-guaranteed bit rate bearer belong to a common quality of service class;
• and.
