Method and system for controlling antenna downtilt in a CDMA network

摘要

A method and system for controlling downtilt of an antenna in a sector of a cell of a code division multiple access (CDMA) network utilizes dynamic application of antenna downtilt based on estimated relative sector capacity. In the method, current network conditions are monitored, relative sector capacity is estimated, and an antenna downtilt is selected. The selected antenna downtilt is dynamically applied to the antenna. Preferably, antenna downtilt is selected so as to effectively maximize relative sector capacity.
