Impact of base station antenna height and antenna tilt on performance of LTE systems

Abstract

The impact of base station antenna height and antenna tilt on SINR in LTE systems have been discussed in this paper. Vienna LTE system level simulator has been used to obtain the results for studying the performance of LTE systems. Results highlight the point that changes in antenna height and tilt angle results in variations in the signal coverage and path loss of the network which in turn varies the SINR of the overall system and thereby the quality of service of the network.
