The purpose of the present invention is to provide a tilt angle deciding
method and a system wherein tilt angles to diminish the deterioration
rate of the entire system can be obtained in the radio communication
system. The method comprises the steps of setting initial values of tilt
angles; calculating the deterioration rate at the initial values of tilt
angles; selecting an antenna for reducing a tilt angle; reducing the tilt
angle of the selected antenna; calculating a deterioration rate at the
time when the tilt angle is reduced; determining the continuity of
repeating the processes, after repeating the series of processes for
reducing these tilt angles, and increasing tilt angles repeatedly in the
similar way. In addition, the method comprises the steps of outputting
tilt angles for diminishing a small deterioration rate, and determining
whether the processes of repeating the whole steps finish. With the
above-specified processes, it becomes possible to obtain tilt angles for
diminishing the deterioration rate of the entire system in comparison
with that obtained at initial values of tilt angles.
