METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING ORIENTATION OF AN ANTENNAFIELD OF DISCLOSURE
[0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to the field of wireless communication systems. More particularly, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods and systems for controlling orientation of an antenna.BACKGROUND
[0002] The following description of related art is intended to provide background information pertaining to the field of the disclosure. This section may include certain aspects of the art that may be related to various features of the present disclosure. However, it should be appreciated that this section be used only to enhance the understanding of the reader with respect to the present disclosure, and not as admissions of prior art.
[0003] Wireless communication technology has rapidly evolved over the past few decades, with each generation bringing significant improvements and advancements. The first generation of wireless communication technology was based on analog technology and offered only voice services. However, with the advent of the second-generation (2G) technology, digital communication and data services became possible, and text messaging was introduced. 3G technology marked the introduction of high-speed internet access, mobile video calling, and location-based services. The fourth-generation (4G) technology revolutionized wireless communication with faster data speeds, better network coverage, and improved security. Currently, the fifth-generation (5G) technology is being deployed, promising even faster data speeds, low latency, and the ability to connect multiple devices simultaneously. With each generation, wireless communication technology has become more advanced, sophisticated, and capable of delivering more services to its users.
[0004] Currently, a lot of effort is spent in identifying the user location and adjusting the payload direction (azimuth) and remote electrical tilt (RET) to provide the best user experience. In current implementations, there are ways of using geo location of trace data to identify user location and adjust RET and payload direction. However, such implementations are subject to errors. In the 5G network or any other enhanced network, beam-forming technology is used to enhance the user network experience. The beamforming technology refers to a signal processing technique wherethe radio waves are directed towards a specific location. Thus, forming the beam towards the specific location enhances signal coverage, signal strength, and internet speed in any wireless communication network. However, identifying the optimal direction of the antenna for beamforming is a problem for which the current system fails to provide a reliable and efficient solution.
[0005] Thus, there is an imperative need in the art for a method and system to efficiently control the orientation of an antenna for beamforming, which the present disclosure aims to address.SUMMARY
