Abstract

A method for detecting swapped antenna sectors in a cellular communications network. For each of one or more cells in the cellular communications network, an azimuth is estimated for each of two or more antenna sectors in the cell using a plurality of geo-located signal measurements for each antenna sector and a machine-learning algorithm. The estimated azimuths are compared to azimuths associated with the corresponding antenna sectors in a stored representation of the cellular communications network, to detect swapped antenna sectors in the cell.
