The utilization index measures how efficiently the RF medium is utilized. It is defined as a percentage of the current throughput relative to the maximum throughput possible.
    The quality is measured as:
    • 0-20 – Very low utilization
    • 20-40 – Low utilization
    • 40-60 – Moderate utilization
    • 60 and above – High utilization
