Abstract
An antenna selection technique is used in an RF communication system in which user modules (UM) communicate with at least one node. The UM's and nodes each have multiple antennae. The combination of each UM and node antenna is evaluated at the UM. Based on both signal quality and strength, the UM selects its antenna and the best node antenna for use.
