Abstract
A method of controlling radio resources in a cellular wireless network comprising a plurality of fixed antennas providing overlapping radio coverage, the method comprising dynamically adjusting the radiation patterns of the antennas using coordinated distributed control to optimize capacity. The wireless network may be a cellular mobile network or part thereof comprising a plurality of cells, each cell having a base station comprising an antenna, and the method may then further comprise determining the concentration of mobile stations in each cell and changing the radiation/reception pattern of the antennas of some or all of the base stations in response to the concentration of mobile stations in each cell.
