An antenna system and arrangement as well as systems for controlling antenna beam patterns to provide improved cellular communications including a method for controlling the coverage area of a base station in a cellular telecommunications system including a plurality of mobile stations. The method including determining the positions of the mobile stations within the coverage area of the base station, determining the boundaries of the coverage area between adjacent cells or sectors, directing a corresponding plurality of individual beams from the base station to the positions of the mobile stations of from the mobile stations to the base station, and co-ordinating the direction and intensity of the plurality of individual beams to optimize the coverage of the base station, the coordination accomplished by adjusting the controls of the antenna arrays relative to one another so as to establish the boundaries of the coverage area. |
