Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide an improved and simplified mechanism for assisting in antenna direction adjustment. The object is achieved by a method in a wireless communication device 120 for assisting in direction adjustment of a directional antenna 125. The wireless communication device 120 is adapted to be connected to a wireless communication system 100 via a directional antenna 125. The wireless communication system 100 comprises a service node 150. The method comprises the first step of establishing 510 a radio connection to the wireless communication system 100 via the directional antenna 125 and the second step of sending 520 a request for antenna direction information to the service node 150 and the third step of receiving 530 the requested antenna direction information from the service node 150 and the fourth step of obtaining 540 performance measurement and the fifth step of sending 550 the obtained performance measurement to the service node 150 and the sixth step of receiving 560 an indication of an antenna direction to be used from the service node 150.
