Patent ID: 8447360

Claim:
A method for dynamically setting the radiation pattern of an antenna of a base station connected to User Equipments in a cellular telecommunications network, comprising: obtaining data of the positions of User Equipments located under coverage of the base station during a predetermined period of time; statistically treating said data of the positions of User Equipments to obtain at least one statistical parameter of said data; and changing the radiation pattern of the antenna depending on the result of comparing said at least one statistical parameter with a pre-established value, wherein said statistical parameter is the proportion of User Equipments samples outside a pre-established target cell range; wherein if said proportion is lower than a pre-established value minus a hysteresis factor, then the down-tilt angle of the antenna is decreased by a predetermined amount, and wherein if said proportion is higher than the pre-established value, then the down-tilt angle of the antenna is increased by a predetermined amount.
