Abstract

Systems and methods for assigning pilot sequences include randomly assigning pilot sequences to a population of access terminals. A first pilot sequence assigned to a worst performing access terminal of the population of access terminals is updated to a different pilot sequence that improves performance of the worst performing access terminal. A second pilot sequence assigned to a best performing access terminal of the population of access terminals is updated to another pilot sequence that reduces performance of the best performing access terminal.
