1. A method comprising steps of:
receiving a first plurality of pilot signals of a first polarization;
performing at least one signal quality measurement of said first plurality of pilot signals, wherein said first plurality of pilot signals are ranked based on said at least one signal quality measurement;
receiving a second plurality of pilot signals of a second polarization;
performing at least one signal quality measurement of said second plurality of pilot signals, wherein said second plurality of pilot signals are ranked based on said at least one signal quality measurement; and
selecting a pilot signal from said first plurality signals and said second plurality of pilot signals based on said ranked signal quality measurements.
