Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method to characterize, adjust and/or optimize the entire performance of a wireless communication network. SOLUTION: This invention provides a method to characterize the entire network performance by using a two-dimensional capacity/coverage diagram. The diagram consists of plotting of vectors denoting the entire network performance, each having a network capacity component and a network coverage component so as to cope with various network configurations. This diagram permits comparison of various network configurations visually, very clearly and efficiently from the standpoint of the entire network performance. Moreover, the diagram allows users to visually understand the trade-off between the attributes of two competitive network performances, e.g. the network capacity and the network coverage.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for adjusting the down-tilt angle of a radio communication system antenna. SOLUTION: Plural cells 1, 2, etc., include cell sites CS1, CS2, etc., respectively. A mobile switching center(MSC) 200 communicates with cell sites CS1, CS2, etc., and local switching networks. Each of cell sites CS1, CS2, etc., includes at least one electrically controllable antenna module, a support unit, a base station BS, and at least one down-tilt controller DC. The controllable antenna module is attached on the support unit. The base station BS communicates with MSC 200 by a high-frequency (RF) signal to/from the antenna module. The down-tilt controller DC communicates with the base station and the MSC 200 (more precisely MDCU 202) for controlling the down-tilt angle of the antenna module.

Abstract: Improved techniques for characterizing, adjusting and optimizing the overall performance of a wireless network. In an illustrative embodiment, the overall network performance for a particular network configuration is characterized by a vector with two components, one representing network coverage and another representing network capacity. Network coverage is defined by the likelihood of service under load, including interference, and may be further weighted by traffic density. Network capacity is defined by an amount of traffic with a given spatial distribution that can be served at a given overall target-blocking rate. The overall network performance may be characterized using a two-dimensional capacity/coverage diagram which plots overall network performance vectors, each including a network capacity component and a network coverage component, for various network configurations. The overall network performance may be improved or optimized with respect to a given subset of network parameters by using an algorithm that proposes potential network configurations and evaluates them with respect to their overall network performance.
