Abstract
According to a disclosed embodiment, a first plurality of pilot signals of a first polarization is received and ranked. Subsequently, a second plurality of pilot signals of a second polarization is received and ranked. Following, a pilot signal from the first and second pluralities of pilot signals is selected based on a signal quality measurement such as a signal to interference ratio. Moreover, a system can be constructed comprising antennas configured to receive pilot signals of a first and a second polarization. The system further comprises a receiver configured to demodulate the pilot signals and a CPU configured to rank the pilot signals and to select a pilot signal based on a signal quality measurement. Communication quality is improved by communicating with the base transceiver station transmitting the pilot signal providing the highest signal quality measurement.

11. A method comprising steps of:
-
measuring a first signal quality of a first plurality of polarized pilot signals received utilizing a first polarized reception system, wherein each pilot signal of said first plurality of polarized pilot signals identifies one of a first plurality of sectors;
measuring a second signal quality of a second plurality of polarized pilot signals received utilizing a second polarized reception system, wherein each pilot signal of said second plurality of polarized pilot signals identifies one of a second plurality of sectors;
selecting a sector from said first plurality of sectors and said second plurality of sectors by comparing said first signal quality with said second signal quality. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
