  • Abstract
    The aim of this paper is to examine the benefit of rapid dynamic antenna tilting on a WCDMA cellular network, where dynamic antenna tilting is applied as either a SON implementation or a MIMO implementation. The potential network performance improvement of this technique is evaluated using a dynamic WCDMA/LTE simulator and the results presented suggest that downlink performance gains of up to 89% may be possible through this simple but novel technique.
