Abstract
Dynamic radio frequency (RF) beam pattern adaptation in a wireless communications system (WCS) is provided. The WCS typically includes a number of wireless devices, such as remote units and/or base stations, for enabling indoor wireless communications to user devices. The wireless devices are typically mounted on a fixed structure. Notably, a wireless device may be preconfigured to support RF beamforming based on an RF beam pattern that corresponds to a configured orientation. However, the wireless device can be installed with a different orientation from the configured orientation, thus requiring the RF beam pattern to be adapted accordingly. In this regard, a wireless device is configured to dynamically determine an actual orientation of the wireless device and automatically adapt the RF beam pattern based on the determined actual orientation. As a result, it is possible to reduce installation and calibration time associated with deployment of the wireless device in the WCS.
