Abstract
In an embodiment of the method, at least one signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) for each antenna configuration in a set of transmission antenna configurations is determined based on an estimated channel characteristic. At least one received signal characteristic is determined for each antenna configuration in the set of antenna configurations based on the determined signal-to-interference-and-noise ratios. One of the antenna configurations in the set of antenna configurations is selected based on the determined received signal characteristics.
