First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
memory storing computer program code;
wherein the memory storing the computer program code is configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least;
direct collection of information relating to conditions prevailing in an inner and outer sector of a wireless communication cell, wherein at least the inner sector is configurable based on antenna tilt; and
determine adjustment of antenna tilt corresponding to the inner sector based on analysis of the conditions, wherein analysis of the conditions is performed with respect to at least one criterion associated with characteristics of at least the inner sector of the wireless communication cell.

Abstract
Systems and techniques for antenna optimization are described. Information such as statistics relating to conditions are collected, and evaluated against specified criteria in an iterative process. An antenna tilt decision is made based on the evaluation and validated to determine if it should be retained or repeated, or if the tilt should be returned to a previous state.
