Utility Fair Optimisation of Antenna Tilt Angles in LTE Networks

We formulate adaptation of antenna tilt angle as a utility fair optimisation task. This optimisation problem is non-convex, but in this paper we show that under reasonable conditions it can be reformulated as a convex optimisation. Using this insight, we develop a lightweight method for finding the optimal antenna tilt angles, making use of measurements which are already available at base stations, and suited to distributed implementation.
