Therefore, for this access device, it is required to provide at least 4G bps of uplink bandwidth, which is highly demanding on the uplink network and is also wasteful.

For example, viewers who watch information programs in cities with strong information needs will usually have more viewers than in rural areas; The demand for the program is more than other time periods.
