Abstract
In a telecommunications network including a mobile terminal and a base station associated with a plurality of antennas, with each antenna configured to transmit the signal with a time offset relative to the other antenna or antennas, an engine for controlling a signal to be transmitted wirelessly from the base station towards the mobile terminal, the engine being configured to receive one or more parameter measurements relevant to the mobile terminal; and use the one or more parameter measurements to adjust the time offset of at least one of the antennas in order to adapt the signal transmission dependent upon the mobile terminal's instantaneous circumstances. Ideally the engine is configured to receive the one or more parameter measurements relating to a plurality of different mobile terminals, and independently adjust the time offset for each of the plurality of different mobile terminals, depending upon the one or more applicable parameter measurements.
