Abstract
A method of transmitting signals from a base station towards user terminals in a cellular communication system. The method includes generating diversity signals, wherein at least one of the diversity signals is subjected to a selectively variable RF phase shift. Specifically, a set of radio link quality indicators is determined at the base station, wherein each radio link quality indicator is representative of the quality of the radio link between the base station and a respective one of the user terminals. The set of radio link quality indicators is used to generate an aggregated radio quality indicator, which in turn is used to selectively vary the variable RF phase shift. For example, the phase shift may be selected, which optimizes the aggregated radio quality indicator.
