Abstract
Embodiments of the claimed subject matter provide a method and apparatus for coordinating concurrent sector optimizations in a wireless communication system. One exemplary embodiment of the method includes determining neighbor relationships between sectors and constructing a precedence graph using the neighbor relationships to link neighboring sectors by a plurality of directed arcs to indicate relative precedence of the neighboring sectors. The exemplary embodiment the method also includes iteratively allocating one or more antenna resources of each of the sectors by selecting a subset of the sectors as master sectors, concurrently optimizing allocation of the antenna resource for each master sector and its associated slave sectors, and reversing precedence indicated by the directed arcs linked to each master sector following optimization of the allocation of the antenna resource(s).
