Patent ID: 8611886

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a storage device configured to store predetermined information; and a central antenna control facility configured to communicate at least one operation parameter to a first antenna facility associated with a first antenna included in a first base station subsystem (BSS) in a first cell coverage area, the at least one operation parameter being at least partially based on the predetermined information and information associated with a signal received from the first antenna by a downlink antenna of an Enhanced 911 service of a second BSS in a second cell coverage area, the central antenna control facility being further configured to receive the information associated with the signal from a second antenna facility associated with the second cell coverage area, the second antenna facility being configured to receive the signal from the downlink antenna and generate the information at least partially based on the signal received by the downlink antenna, wherein the first antenna is a Remote Electrical Tilting (RET) antenna and the first antenna facility adjusts at least one of downtilt and a radiation pattern associated with the RET antenna based on the at least one operation parameter.
