Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Systems, methods, and apparatus for cluster-based optimization of antenna tilts in a wireless network are presented herein. A screening component can receive information indicating wireless conditions of respective wireless access points of a geographical region, select, based on a performance criterion, an access point of the respective wireless access points, and group the access point and an other access point of the respective wireless access points into a representation of a cluster of access points. Further, an optimization component can derive antenna tilt values for respective access points of the cluster of the access points in response to a simulation of an application of the antenna tilt values to the respective access points. Furthermore, an implementation component can direct the antenna tilt values to respective components of the respective access points.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: receiving, by a system comprising a processor, information representing wireless conditions of wireless access point devices; selecting, by the system based on a criterion, a first target access point device of the wireless access point devices; creating, by the system based on data received by the first target access point device from a mobile device, a first representation of a first cluster of the wireless access point devices co…
