WIRELESS NETWORK ELEMENT AND METHOD FOR ANTENNA ARRAY CONTROL
摘要
A wireless network element is operably couplable to an antenna array for communicating with at least one remote wireless communication unit. The antenna array comprises a plurality of radiating elements where at least one first radiating element of the plurality of radiating elements is arranged to create a radiation pattern in a sector of a communication cell. The wireless network element comprises a receiver arranged to receive and process at least one signal from the at least one remote wireless communication unit via the at least one first radiating element. The wireless network element also comprises a beam scanning module for stepping/sweeping the radiation pattern through the sector of the communication cell, such that at least one signal from the at least one remote wireless communication unit is processed to identify signal parameters representative of incoming signal power and angle of arrival of the received at least one signal.
