Patent ID: 7551890

Claim:
A method for alignment of an antenna with an adjustable directional characteristic in a mobile station in a mobile radio system, comprising: a) determining a first variable which is characteristic of the signal strength, a second variable which is characteristic of the signal quality, and a third variable which is characteristic of the geographical alignment of the mobile station, for different alignments of the main lobe direction of the antenna; b) deriving the direction of a side of the mobile station facing away from a user's head from the geographical alignment information; c) evaluating the first, second and third variables as determined in step a) and the direction derived in step b) for different alignments of the main lobe direction of the antenna; d) setting of the main lobe direction of the antenna as a function of an evaluation result determined in step c); e) determining the position information for the mobile station and the position information for a fixed station: f) evaluating the position information determined in step e) and the geographical alignment of the mobile station: and g) emitting a particular acoustic direction changing signal for the user as a function of the evaluation result determined in step f), or as a function of the derivation result determined in step b).
