摘要

A method of operating a first device (110; 200; 300) of wireless communication with a plurality of spokes (210; 310a - 310n) and a plurality of systems (202, 303a - 303b) configurable antenna, comprising: determining a plurality of quality metrics signal transmission and reception for connections between the first device (110; 200; 300) of wireless communication and a plurality of stations (120A - 120D) for the first radio (210; 310a - 310n) in the first wireless communication device with a first system (202; 303a - 303b) configurable antennas, comprising receiving transmissions from the plurality of stations (120A - 120D) while the first system configurable antenna is set to a plurality of configurations ; determining a plurality of signal quality metrics to transmit and receive connections between the first device (110; 200; 300) of wireless communication and the plurality of stations (120A -120D) to a second radio (210; 310a - 310n) in the first wireless communication device to a second system (202, 303a - 303b) configurable antennas, receiving transmissions comprising from the plurality of stations (120A - 120D) while the second system configurable antenna is set to a plurality of configurations; determining a connection matrix that includes quality metrics signal transmission and reception for the first and second radios (210; 310a - 310n) and the plurality of configurations of the first and second systems (202, 303a - 303b) configurable antennas ; determine a viable set of configurations using the connection matrix, wherein the viable set is defined as the set of possible antenna configurations where all of the plurality of stations (120A - 120D) can be heard; and select an antenna configuration from the viable for the first and second systems (202, 303a - 303b) antenna assembly using the connection matrix.
