Systems and techniques for grouping channels, such as pilots, are described. In one aspect, a method includes receiving transmissions of two or more pilot signals at an access terminal of a wireless communications network that includes an access node, based on characteristics of the transmissions of the two or more pilot signals from the access node to the access terminal, determining whether the two or more pilot signals are suitable for grouping and indicating of the suitability of the two or more pilot signals for grouping by sending a pilot information report for the pilot group to the access node.
