Claim 16:
17. A system for managing a number of elements of an antenna array, the system comprising:
one or more processors; and
computer storage media storing computer-readable instructions that, upon execution by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
monitoring performance levels for a first antenna array associated with a first base station;
communicating the performance levels for the first antenna array to a second base station;
determining that the monitored performance levels fall below a threshold value;
determining that the signal quality measured for the first antenna array being below the threshold value is caused by an overlap of a first main lobe of the first antenna array and a back lobe of a second antenna array, the second antenna array being associated with the second base station; and
based on the overlap determination, dynamically reducing the number of elements which are broadcasting on the second antenna array.
