Remote estimation of physical antenna configuration

Abstract

Computer-implemented method, comprising receiving (S110) a plurality of measurement results each comprising an indication of a respective distance between a first antenna and a location where the respective measurement is performed and an indication of a respective value of a signal strength received from the first antenna at the location where the respective measurement is performed; estimating (S120), for each of the measurement results, based on the respective distance and the respective value of the received signal strength, a respective preliminarily estimated physical configuration of the first antenna; averaging (S130) the preliminarily estimated physical configurations for the plurality of measurement results to obtain an estimated physical configuration of the first antenna, wherein the physical configuration comprises at least one of a direction of the first antenna, a downtilt of the first antenna, and a height of the first antenna.
