FWA throughput optimization: beam steering, CA, MIMO rank

Beam Steering Optimization

Beam steering is the primary tool for optimizing individual FWA subscriber throughput. The gNodeB adjusts the direction and width of beams serving each CPE to maximize signal strength and minimize interference leakage to neighboring subscribers. For stationary FWA CPE, beam weights can be computed once during installation and refined periodically rather than requiring continuous mobile tracking. Advanced beam management algorithms consider the entire set of active subscribers simultaneously, optimizing beam patterns to maximize aggregate sector throughput while maintaining minimum…
