Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for 5G service management in a multi-dwelling unit, including updating a FWA device and/or the switch to create further specialized devices for the network. For example, the FWA device can obtain service to the 5G network from a 5G small cell (e.g., gNodeB, base stations, etc.) and then determine throughput or 5G Quality Of Services (QoS) for each home GW or AP of the multi-dwelling unit. Software agents or applications may reside on various locations, including the FWA device/modem, switch, cloud (e.g., local cloud, central cloud, etc.), and home GW/APs to determine bandwidth and QoS provided to each AP using traffic shaping algorithm. Alternative embodiments may include: (1) integrating with a billing system of the service provider (e.g., ISP, etc.) where the FWA device can transmit data used via the 5G communication network or (2) the FWA device acts as a virtual carrier.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for effectuating a self-installation application that may be utilized by end users of 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) devices, installation professionals, etc. to optimally locate and position/orient a 5G FWA device relative to an installation environment. Various guidance can be provided to a user depending on the user's level of experience or familiarity with installation of such devices. Calculations can be executed to determine performance of a 5G FWA device depending on its location/position/orientation relative to elements or structures or obstructions that may impact its ability to effectively connect to/obtain service from a serving cell or network infrastructure.
