Abstract
Methods, media, and systems are provided for facilitating the determination of a placement for a fixed wireless access (FWA) device. A connection quality for a connection between the FWA device and a node, associated with a wireless telecommunications network, is determined at a first location. A predicted connection quality is determined for a second location. The second location is provided to a user should the predicted connection quality for the second location be an improvement over the connection quality at the first location.
Claims20
A system for facilitating placement of a fixed wireless access (FWA) device, the system comprising:
- the FWA device comprising one or more antennas for receiving a downlink signal from a serving cell and for transmitting an uplink signal to the serving cell, the FWA device further comprising a processor, the processor configured to:
- determine values for a set of parameters for a plurality of placement locations, wherein the set of parameters comprises at least one of a downlink signal speed, an uplink signal speed, or a current location associated with the FWA device;
- and
- generate a recommended placement location for the FWA device based on at least the values for the set of parameters for the plurality of placement locations.
A method for improving performance of a fixed wireless access (FWA) device, the method comprising:
- connecting to a first network;
- determining a first location of the FWA device;
- receiving network data and map data;
- determining at least one performance parameter of a connection between the FWA device and the first network;
- calculating a first connection quality based on the at least one performance parameter at the first location;
- predicting a second connection quality for a second location based on the at least one performance parameter, the network data, and the map data;
- determining that the second connection quality is greater than the first connection quality;
- and
- displaying a representation of the first location and the second location.
Computer-readable storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the processors to:
- at a first network, establishing a connection to a fixed wireless access (FWA) device;
- determining a first location of the FWA device;
- retrieving network data and map data associated with the FWA device;
- determining at least one performance parameter of a connection between the FWA device and the first network;
- calculating a first connection quality based on the at least one performance parameter at the first location;
- predicting a second connection quality for a second location based on the at least one performance parameter, the network data, and the map data;
- determining that the second connection quality is greater than the first connection quality;
- and
- transmitting for display a representation of the first location and the second location.
