Abstract

A user terminal (100, 200, 300, 400), a UE, for a wireless communications system. The UE comprises an antenna unit (130) and a receiver unit (125) for receiving signals on a radio channel within the system. The UE also comprises a sensor (115) for sensing the position of the UE and for generating an output signal indicative of said position. The UE further comprises an evaluation unit (120) which is arranged to measure the UE's communication performance over the channel and to also receive the output signal from the sensor and to generate a first control signal (S1) which indicates if altering the position of at least part of the UE, and thereby the position of the UE's antenna unit (130), will result in an increased communication performance over the channel for the UE.
