Abstract:
A method of providing a region of radio coverage within a wireless telecommunication network and a wireless telecommunication base station operable to provide that region of radio coverage. The base station comprises: transmission apparatus operable to provide a first region of radio coverage on a first radio frequency and a second region of radio coverage on a second radio frequency. The first region of radio coverage comprises a plurality of angularly spaced primary first radio beams and at least one secondary first radio beam. The base station is arranged to transmit the secondary first radio beam at a vertical tilt angle which differs from a tilt angle associated with the plurality of primary first radio beams. The second region of radio coverage comprises at least a primary second radio beam; that primary second radio beam is arranged to radiate from the base station between adjacent angularly spaced primary first radio beams. Aspects recognize that by providing two cells on a carrier, one vertically offset with respect to another, and horizontally offsetting a cell on a second carrier it may be possible to improve overall network performance.
