Systems and methods for optimizing antenna tilt in a cellular site

A method for optimizing antenna tilt in a cell site of a radio access network (RAN), the method comprising:

• obtaining, via a processor, input data for a source cell and for neighboring cells thereof at a plurality of predetermined geolocations;
• determining, via the processor an overlap percentage of the source cell and the neighboring cells thereof from the input data obtained at the plurality of predetermined geolocations;
• determining, via the processor, for the source cell, at least one TA percentage for at least one distance range from a center of the source cell;
• determining, via the processor, based on the determined overlap percentage and the determined at least one TA percentage, that the source cell is outside a predetermined cell coverage area;
• and
• recommending, via the processor, based on the determining that the source cell is outside the predetermined cell coverage area, adjustment of the antenna tilt for the source cell to meet the predetermined cell coverage area.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon instructions executable by at least one processor configured to perform a method for optimizing antenna tilt in a cell site of a radio access network (RAN), the method comprising:

• obtaining input data for a source cell and for neighboring cells thereof at a plurality of predetermined geolocations;
• determining an overlap percentage of the source cell and the neighboring cells thereof from the input data obtained at the plurality of predetermined geolocations;
• determining, for the source cell, at least one TA percentage for at least one distance range from a center of the source cell;
• determining, based on the determined overlap percentage and the determined at least one TA percentage, that the source cell is outside a predetermined cell coverage area;
• and
• recommending, based on the determining that the source cell is outside the predetermined cell coverage area, adjustment of the antenna tilt for the source cell to meet the predetermined cell coverage area.
