Abstract:
A method at a network node for compensating for inter-frequency coverage disparity between multiple cells operating across a coverage area of a wireless communications network. The method determines a disparity in signal coverage over the coverage area between a first cell and a second cell, wherein the first cell operates at a different frequency spectrum or frequency band from the second cell and wherein the network node determines the disparity in signal coverage by analyzing network data collected for the first and second cells. The method determines when the disparity in signal coverage meets a set criterion; and when the disparity in signal coverage meets the set criterion, adjusting coverage shape of one of the first cell and the second cell over the coverage area to reduce the disparity, wherein the adjusting of the coverage shape is performed by tilting signal coverage of the antenna at the transmission point.
