In a cellular, broadband radio access network, such as a High Performance Local Area Network Type 2 (HIPERLAN/2), which employs multiple antennas per base station, the process of identifying and selecting the most appropriate base station antenna to support a given mobile terminal may be accomplished more effectively by allowing the mobile terminal to initiate antenna selection and, thereafter, to identify the most appropriate one of the multiple base station antennas. By utilizing the mobile terminal in this capacity, the process of antenna selection can be accomplished more effectively even if there is relatively little uplink communication between the mobile terminal and its corresponding base station.
