An antenna configuration system comprises a rotatable antenna assembly configured to employ a transmission beam pattern selected from a plurality of transmission beam patterns; a controller to rotate the assembly to each of a multiple selected azimuth directions; signal quality metric determination means for each of the selected azimuth directions and transmission beam determination means to determine an output beam pattern and an output azimuth direction; the controller being arranged to rotate the antenna apparatus to the output azimuth direction and to employ the output beam pattern for a subsequent communication involving at least one wireless terminal. The assembly may rotate, at regular intervals, through a three hundred and sixty degree range. A level of service priority weighting for at least one wireless terminal may also be used in determining the output azimuth direction and the output beam pattern for a subsequent communication. A weighted harmonic mean process may be used in the system. Extrapolated data may be used in the determining process. The system may be used in a backhaul network coupling to a core network. The system may provide an efficient self configuration arrangement which can establish optimal quality communication links. |
