Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods for controlling coverage in a wireless communications network after a disruption in a control signal provided to a multi-directional antenna are provided. The system may detect that a disruption has occurred in the control signal, causing the antenna to broadcast in a different mode and leading to a change in the coverage area. The change in the coverage area may cause user devices to experience a drop in coverage or to experience interference from multiple, overlapping coverage areas. In embodiments, the system increases or decreases the power provided to the antenna to control the coverage area and/or limit interference, in order to compensate for the disruption.
