In a first aspect, a method of remotely controlling deployment of an FWA device (11) is provided comprising determining (S101) quality of a first radio channel established with the FWA device (11) to be deployed, determining (S102) quality of at least a second radio channel established with a wireless communication device (18) being located in a vicinity of the FWA device (11) to be deployed, determining (S103) a difference in quality between the first and the at least one second radio channel and if the quality of the second channel exceeds the quality of the first channel by a quality threshold value; indicating (S104) a redeployment action to be performed for the FWA device (11) to increase the quality of the first radio channel. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of remotely controlling deployment of a fixed wireless access (FWA) device, the method comprising: determining a quality of a first radio channel established with the FWA device; determining a quality of a second radio channel established with a wireless communication device being located in a vicinity of the FWA device; determining-(S a difference in quality between the first and the second radio channel; and after determining that the quality of the second channel exceeds the quality of the first channel by a quality threshold value, indicating a redeployment action to be performed for the FWA device to increase the quality of the first radio channel. ### Claim 2 (canceled) ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, the indicating of the redeployment action comprising: sending control information to the FWA device being configured to control a visual indicator of the FWA device guiding a user of the FWA device on how to perform the redeployment action. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, the indicating of the redeployment action comprising: sending control information to the FWA device being configured to control an audio indicator of the FWA device guiding a user of the FWA device on how to perform the redeployment action. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, the indicating of the redeployment action comprising: sending control information to an app executing on a device of a user guiding the user on how to perform the redeployment action. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the redeployment action comprises moving the FWA device to a different location and/or redirecting one or more antennas with which the FWA device is equipped. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The method of claim 6, the redeployment action comprising assigning a quality measure to each of a number of different locations to which the FWA device can be moved and/or to each of a number of different antenna directions. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the determining of the quality of the first radio channel further comprises: determining a location of the FWA device to be deployed the determining of the quality of the at least one second radio channel further comprises: determining a location of the wireless communication device, and the wireless communication device is considered to be located in a vicinity of the FWA device to be deployed if the distance between the two devices does not exceed a set maximum distance (d). ### Claim 9 (canceled) ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: detecting type of FWA device to be deployed, the detected FWA device type being taking into account when determining the redeployment action to be performed, wherein the detecting of the type of FWA device to be deployed comprises detecting whether the FWA device is stationary or semi-stationary. ### Claim 11 (canceled) ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a computer program comprising computer-executable instructions for causing a device to perform the method of claim 1. ### Claim 13 (canceled) ### Claim 14 A device configured to remotely control deployment of a fixed wireless access, (FWA) device, comprising: a processing unit; and a memory, said memory containing instructions executable by said processing unit, wherein the radio base station is operative to: determine quality of a first radio channel established with the FWA device to be deployed; determine quality of at least a second radio channel established with a wireless communication device being located in a vicinity of the FWA device to be deployed; determine a difference in quality between the first and the at least one second radio channel; and if the quality of the second channel exceeds the quality of the first channel by a quality threshold value, indicate a redeployment action to be performed for the FWA device to increase the quality of the first radio channel. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The device of claim 14, further being operative to indicate the redeployment action to be performed to a user of the FWA device, an operator of a network serving the FWA device or a 3rd party. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The device of claim 15, further being operative to, when indicating the redeployment action: send control information to the FWA device being configured to control a visual indicator of the FWA device guiding the user on how to perform the redeployment action. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The device of claim 15, further being operative to, when indicating the redeployment action: send control information to the FWA device being configured to control an audio indicator of the FWA device guiding the user on how to perform the redeployment action. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The device of claim 15, further being operative to, when indicating the redeployment action: send control information to an app executing on a device of the user guiding the user on how to perform the redeployment action. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The device of claim 15, the redeployment action being configured to comprise one or more of moving the FWA device to a different location and redirecting one or more antennas with which the FWA device is equipped. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The device of claim 19, the redeployment action being configured to assign a quality measure to each of a number of different locations to which the FWA device can be moved and/or to each of a number of different antenna directions. ### Claim 21 (depends on 15) The device of claim 15, further being operative to, when determining the quality of the first radio channel: determine a location of the FWA device to be deployed; and when determining the quality of the at least one second radio channel further: determine a location of the wireless communication device. ### Claim 22 (depends on 21) The device of claim 21, wherein the wireless communication device is considered to be located in a vicinity of the FWA device to be deployed if the distance between the two devices does not exceed a set maximum distance (d). ### Claim 23 (depends on 15) The device of claim 15, further being operative to: detect type of FWA device to be deployed, the detected FWA device type being taking into account when determining the redeployment action to be performed, wherein the detecting type of FWA device to be deployed comprises detecting whether the FWA device is stationary or semi-stationary. ### Claim 24 (canceled) ### Claim 25 (depends on 14) The device of claim 14, the device being a radio base station serving the FWA device and the wireless communication device, or a radio base station serving the FWA device while receiving an indication of the quality of the at least a second radio channel from a neighbouring radio base station serving the wireless communication device, or a central device communicating with a first radio base station serving the wireless communication device and a second radio base station serving the FWA device.
