1. A method for selecting an antenna configuration in a mobile communication device, the method comprising:

  • monitoring the signal quality for a current antenna configuration of a plurality of antenna configurations;

    searching all of the other antenna configurations of the plurality of antenna configurations when it is determined that the signal quality for the current antenna configuration has passed a threshold;

    selecting the antenna configuration of the plurality of antenna configurations that has the best signal quality;

    determining whether the signal quality for the selected antenna configuration is better than the signal quality for the current antenna configuration; and

    excluding the selected antenna configuration from future searching, when it is determined that the signal quality for the selected antenna configuration is not better than the signal quality for the current antenna configuration.
