Abstract
A wireless network optimizing node receives key performance indicators (KPIs) from a base station of a cell site providing wireless service within a geographic area, wherein the KPIs are associated with wireless communication between beams of an antenna array of the cell site and User Equipment. The node determines a current cell site capacity usage for the cell site based on current wireless network usage parameters received from the cell site and determines a need for an additional antenna array to provide adequate coverage and capacity for the geographic area based on the current cell site capacity usage and the first KPIs. The node determines an optimum location within the geographic area for adding the additional antenna array.
