Method for optimizing antenna directions in base station communications
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11936445B2) discloses a computer-implemented method for optimizing the directions of antennas in a base station of a communications network. The method involves receiving antenna sector configuration data, performance indicators of subsectors, calculating a cost function value based on inter-sector impact, and identifying an optimized antenna configuration that minimizes the cost function value. The optimization process aims to improve the efficiency and performance of the antennas by adjusting their directions based on load distribution in different subsectors.
The patent also includes additional features such as providing output information on the optimized antenna configuration, detecting changes in cost function values to deploy antenna configuration changes, and optimizing the direction of single subsector antennas within the same base station. The method is applicable to base stations with varying numbers of sectors and subsectors, allowing for flexibility in optimizing antenna configurations based on specific network requirements. Furthermore, the patent covers an apparatus and a non-transitory computer program product designed to facilitate the optimization process by receiving data, calculating cost function values, and identifying the optimal antenna configuration. Overall, the patented technology offers a systematic approach to enhancing the performance of communication networks through antenna direction optimization.
