A base transceiver station for a mobile communications network for communicating with a plurality of subscriber devices within a coverage area comprises an active antenna array with a tilt adaption arrangement to adjust a vertical tilt angle of an antenna beam in dependence of beam tilting control data, and thereby dynamically change the coverage area served by the base transceiver station. The base transceiver station further comprises a beam control device for evaluating the distance of the subscriber devices in the coverage area to the active antenna array and calculating from the distances the beam tilting control data. As the distance of a subscriber device to the antenna is a parameter that may be extracted directly from data that is available anyhow for at least some subscriber devices, this data can be acquired at no extra expense.
