<p>In a cellular telecommunications network, uplink interference, as measured by a base station in a target cell, and co-channel interference, as measured by mobile units in a co-channel cell are reduced by increasing the base station antenna tilt angle. However, increasing the base station antenna tilt angle reduces the effective coverage area of the target cell. To obtain an optimum base station antenna tilt angle, interference reduction and target cell coverage area reduction are quantified for each of a number of candidate base station antenna tilt angles. An interference reduction-to-target cell coverage area reduction ratio can then be established for each of the candidate base station antenna tilt angles. The optimum base station antenna tilt angle can then be identified as the one candidate base station antenna tilt angle that reflects the maximum interference reduction-to-target cell coverage area reduction ratio.</p> |
