Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for selecting an antenna amplitude taper to transmit wireless signals to a coverage area from a base station. A first interference level at a victim cell is determined when using a first amplitude taper. A second interference level at a victim cell is determined when using a second amplitude taper. Based on determining that the second interference level is less than the first interference level, the second amplitude taper is selected to transmit the wireless signals to the coverage area form the set of antenna elements at the base station.
