Abstract:
A speed tier based pricing scheme is utilized to increase average revenue per user (ARPU) for fixed wireless applications. To offer a speed tier based pricing scheme, a radio environment at a location of Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) and/or data associated with cell sites serving the location can be analyzed to estimate a maximum data rate that can be delivered to the user CPE with a high confidence. Based on the estimated data rate, one or more speed tiers that can be offered to the customer for subscription. Further, based on an analysis of observed network usage and/or traffic demand per customer location with reference to the speed-tier classes subscribed to by existing customers, the network can efficiently plan for on-boarding new customers and/or network expansion.

Claim (Index 12):
A method, comprising:\n based on a radio environment analysis, estimating, by a system comprising a processor, respective sustainable data rates that are consistently provided within defined grids of a geographical map via respective radio interfaces of a fixed wireless network and according to a defined consistency criterion, wherein the radio environment analysis comprises an analysis of characteristic data associated with propagation of radio signals transmitted within the defined grids; determining, by the system, speed tier data indicative of speed tiers that correspond to the respective sustainable data rates, wherein the speed tiers are associated with respective billing fees for providing a communication service via a fixed wireless network device; in response to receiving request data indicative of a request for a speed-tier qualification of a customer premises equipment in a grid of the grids, estimating a sustainable data rate that is to be provided within the grid to the customer premises equipment based on respective speed tiers subscribed to by existing user devices in the grid and respective historical utilization by the existing user devices of sustainable data rates assigned to the respective speed tiers, and superimposing, by the system, the speed tier data over the geographical map to generate a presentation that is to be displayed via a sales interface that indicates a speed tier corresponding to the sustainable data rate that is available to the customer premises equipment to facilitate registration of the customer premises equipment.
