A communication system incorporates a self-structuring antenna (SSA) system coupled to multiple communication devices, such as receivers, in a multiplexed arrangement. One of the communication devices is employed in a search process to select an antenna configuration suitable for another of the communication devices. The SSA system controls and coordinates the search process for the communication devices. For example, the SSA system resolves conflicts between communication devices when multiple communication devices attempt to access the SSA system simultaneously. Using multiple communication devices, one of which is employed in a search process related to another communication device, may reduce the duration for which communication services are interrupted.
