METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR ASSISTING IN DIRECTION ADJUSTMENT OF A DIRECTIONAL ANTENNA

摘要

An object of the present invention is to provide an improved and simplified mechanism for assisting in antenna direction adjustment. The object is achieved by a method in a wireless communication device (120) for assisting in direction adjustment of a directional antenna (125). The wireless communication device (120) is adapted to be connected to a wireless communication system (100) via adirectional antenna (125). The wireless communication system (100) comprises a service node (150). The method comprises the first step of establishing (510) a radio connection to the wireless communication system (100) via the directional antenna (125) and the second step of sending (520) a request for antenna direction information to the service node (150) and the third step of receiving (530) the requested antenna direction information from the service node (150) and the fourth step of obtaining (540) performance measurement and the fifth step of sending (550) the obtained performance measurement to the service node 150 and the sixth step of receiving (560) an indication of an antenna direction to be used from the service node (150).
