Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for managing data transmission within a cellular network. A base station detects the attachment of a Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) gateway. Upon detection, the base station determines a traffic cap for the FWA gateway based on this attachment. The base station then generates a normalized data rate for the FWA gateway by weighting its achieved data rate. Subsequently, the fairness criteria of a Radio Access Network (RAN) scheduler are adjusted based on this normalized data rate. This methodology ensures a balanced and efficient allocation of resources within the network.
