Abstract

Devices, systems, and methods for providing improved network performance in wireless communications networks using intelligent radiation selection are provided. A radio is communicatively coupled to an antenna and configured to provide a signal to the antenna for broadcast from a cell site. One or more input components are communicatively coupled to the radio to provide information on at least one of an internal or an external condition of the antenna, so that the radio can adjust or modify the signal provided to the antenna to change an emitted pattern of radiation from the antenna to reduce signal loss, or recover or help maintain an area of coverage provided by the antenna.
