Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for optimizing a relay node in a wireless communication network. A plurality of base stations may be provided as well as at least one antenna at a relay node, the antenna operably coupled to a rotation mechanism. The plurality of base stations can be scanned by the antenna, the scanning using one or more control parameters dictating a portion of a scanning process. Based on the scanning, an optimal base station may be determined and/or an optimal antenna position may be determined. The antenna can adjust to the optimal position and/or can attach to the optimal base station to provide an optimal backhaul link.
