Problems solved by technology

However, such solutions fail to take into account the fact that network performance (and antenna performance in particular) may be affected not only by network factors, but also by environmental factors (including natural and man-made structures in the coverage area, seasonal changes in vegetation, climate change, etc. ) affected by
Making changes to antenna tilt without taking this information into account can cause unintended impacts on network KPIs

Embodiment Construction

[0065] FIG. 1 is a flowchart illustrating process steps in a method 100 according to an example of the present disclosure. Method 100 for Tubes

[0066] The method 100 may be performed as part of an ongoing network management and optimization process. due to antenna tilt

[0067] FIG. 2 shows how the method 100 may be used to evaluate manual antenna tilt changes suggested by a network engineer and

[0069] Referring first to Figure 3a, in a first step 202, the CLP function receives the proposed antenna tilt. As above with reference to Figure 2

[0070] At step 204, the CLP function divides the coverage area into a plurality of propagation lattices. This division is available at each CLP function execution side

[0071] At step 206, the CLP function calculates the average of each propagation grid by calculating the mean of each propagation grid from the elevation data of the points within each propagation grid

Abstract

A method 100 of managing the tilt of an antenna providing network coverage over a coverage area is disclosed. The method includes obtaining an elevation model 100A of the coverage area, and calculating an antenna attenuation 100B for a point on the elevation model according to a reference antenna inclination and a proposed antenna inclination. The method 100 also includes using the calculated attenuation to predict an impact 100C on network traffic distribution within the coverage area of ​​a change from the reference antenna tilt angle to the proposed antenna tilt angle, and agreeing to the proposed antenna tilt angle if the predicted impact satisfies acceptability criteria. Use 100D. Also disclosed are apparatuses and computer program products configured to perform the method of managing the tilt of an antenna.

Description

Method and apparatus for managing antenna tilt technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of managing the tilt of an antenna providing network coverage over a coverage area. The present invention also relates to and an apparatus for managing the inclination of an antenna providing network coverage over a coverage area and involving computer programs and computing A computer program product configured to, when run on a computer, perform management of the inclination of an antenna that provides network coverage over a coverage area oblique method. Background technique Continued advancements in cellular network capabilities, user equipment (UE), and network hardware and software mean that cellular communication networks Networks are now responsible for massive data transfers, with data demands only starting to increase in the foreseeable future. manage this growth and optimizing network installations to maximize data transfer capacity are netwo...
