1. In a receiver having a plurality of demodulation elements, a method of assigning said plurality of demodulation elements to a set of available signals, comprising the steps of:

  • measuring said available signals and creating electronic representations of a list of survey paths comprised of an arrival time, a signal strength, and a transmitter index of each of said available signals;

    matching a list of demodulation paths comprised of an arrival time, a signal strength, and a transmitter index corresponding to signals being demodulated by said receiver to said list of survey paths; and

    assigning an un-assigned demodulation element, if said un-assigned demodulation element exists, to a particular survey path having a corresponding transmitter index that is different than every transmitter index in said list of demodulation paths.
