1. A method for adjusting antenna radiation for a wireless network or segment thereof, the method comprising the steps of:

  • varying antenna radiation directions of a plurality of antennas throughout ranges of antenna radiation directions;

    measuring signal parameters for the varied antenna radiation directions for a plurality of measurement locations; and

    determining a resultant antenna radiation direction within the ranges for each of the antennas in the wireless network or segment thereof in which to transmit to a plurality of subscribers based on the measured signal parameters to achieve desired performance criteria, by determining a system-wide minimal or maximum average of an interference signal strength over a group of the measurement locations and identifying a constellation of resultant antenna radiation directions associated with the system-wide minimal or maximum average for the group.
