Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021260259A1] A computer implemented method for evaluating need for an antenna amplifier in a cell of a communication network. Operation of the cell is evaluated (301). Responsive to the evaluation resulting in detecting that an amount of poor uplink quality samples or uplink-downlink imbalance exceed respective thresholds in the cell (302, 306), in combination with an amount of cable losses and traffic volume exceeding respective thresholds in the cell (303, 304), it is determined (307) that the cell would benefit from use of an antenna amplifier. Output is provided (308) to indicate that the evaluated cell would benefit from use of an antenna amplifier.
