Abstract
Various methods and systems for dynamically optimizing the azimuth and tilt settings of antenna systems based on analyzing network parameters are provided. Analyzing network parameters may be by way of an automated feedback mechanism, where measurements for network parameters, including, for example, traffic patterns, radio channel conditions, capacity offload requirements and coverage requirements are received for one or more network cells. The network parameter measurements are associated with an antenna system of the one or more network cells. The network parameter measurements correspond to one or more network parameters each having a threshold level for optimal operation of the network. A determination is made that a network parameter measurement for at least one of the one or more network parameters meets a corresponding threshold level. An adjustment for the azimuth setting and a tilt setting of the antenna system is determined such that the antenna system is adjusted.
