Network
Remote electrical tilt enables a continuing optimization to achieve the best balance
between interference and coverage also with respect to :
Soft handover
Due to the low uplink power levels the subscriber signals may be received by
two or three cells and added up by the system
improvement of the uplink path but eating up of capacity; 30-40% of the
subscribers may be in this situation

network operators fear an oscillating network and want to keep the control
but already now the RET system can adapt the network to the current status
on the basis of pre-measured and pre-optimized scenarios; the downtilts can
be adjusted for different scenarios:
working time
(main traffic in offices)
evening coverage
(main traffic at home
or in restaurants/bars)

RET Benefits
Conclusion:
For the network optimization due to changing cell sizes with WCDMA an
adaption of the coverage by adjustment of the downtilt angle is required
Local control directly at the base station does not provide the required
quick and permanent access
Central control for a complete network section, e.g. via the common OMC
(Operational Maintenance Center) is needed

Benefits:
Cell correction due to network extensions can be carried out without sending
installation teams to the base stations

The OMC is controlling hundreds of sites, but the IP / Browser solution is quite
slow and complicate:
access to the various CCUs only one after the other (especially with modem)
no reference to site names
with HTML the whole page has to be transferred even if only one value changes

The Antenna System Manager is a SNMP based software on the OMC computer
The number of controllable CCUs and the following AISG devices is unlimited
The actual data are stored in the computer not in the CCU (access is only required
for a new adjustment)
fast transfer due to reduced data quantity (specially in modem mode)
Explorer enables tree architecture with regions and site names
