Attitude Estimation for In-Service Base Station Antenna Using Downlink Channel Fading Statistics

A maximum-likelihood-estimation method is proposed for extracting the attitude of a sectoring base station (BS) antenna by using the received signal strengths observed by multiple user equipments (UEs) in this contribution. This method calculates the likelihood function of the antenna attitude deriv...
