Claim:
1. A method for determining cell states to adjust antenna configuration parameters, the method comprising: receiving, at a radio access node in a network, measurement reports from a plurality of user equipment devices; performing, at the radio access node, a weak coverage analysis in response to the measurement reports to determine whether a cell provided by the radio access node is assigned a good coverage state or a weak coverage state, wherein the weak coverage analysis comprises performing, at the radio access node, an overshooting analysis in response to the measurement reports to determine whether the cell provided by the radio access node is assigned an overshooter state or a non-overshooter state; performing, at the radio access node, an interference analysis in response to the measurement reports to determine whether the cell provided by the radio access node is assigned an interferer state or a non-interferer state; performing, at the radio access node, a quality analysis in response to the measurement reports to determine whether the cell provided by the radio access node is assigned a good quality state or a bad quality state; and performing, at the radio access node, adjustments to antenna configuration parameters of the cell provided by the radio access node in response to the various states assigned to the cell.
