1. A method for adjusting cell specific antenna configuration parameters, the method comprising:
receiving, at each of a plurality of radio access nodes in a network, measurement reports from a plurality of user equipment devices; performing, at each radio access node, base incremental adjustments to configuration parameters of one or more antennas at the radio access node in response to the measurement reports, wherein the measurement reports are processed to derive one or more of the following parameters on which the adjustments are based:
cell level metrics accounting for every cell's share of blame for measurement reports indicating inadequate coverage or quality; andcell label combinations indicating any of a coverage, quality, interference, or overshooter status of each cell; receiving, at each radio access node, additional measurement reports from the plurality of user equipment devices after the incremental adjustments; continuing to perform base incremental adjustments to the configuration parameters of the one or more antennas at the radio access nodes in response to the measurement reports after previous incremental adjustments until an improvement limit has occurred; and performing adjustments to the configuration parameters of the one or more antennas at the radio access nodes in accordance with a mathematical search procedure maximizing an objective function of coverage and quality in response to the improvement limit until a desired objective function value is achieved or for a certain number of iterations or until no further improvement is tangible. |
