Claim 7:
8. A multi-mode antenna system comprising:
a multi-mode antenna configurable in a plurality of operating modes, each of the plural of operating modes having a distinct radiation pattern; and
one or more processors configured to perform operations, the operations comprising:
configuring the multi-mode antenna in each of the plurality of operating modes while a device communicatively coupled to the multi-mode antenna is tuned to a first channel of a plurality of channels;
obtaining data indicative of a channel quality indicator for each of the plurality of operating modes while the device is tuned to the first channel;
determining a score for each of the plurality of operating modes based, at least in part, on the data indicative of the channel quality indicator;
wherein determining the score for each of the plurality of operating modes comprises determining the score for each of the plurality of operating modes based, at least in part, on the data and a first weighted value assigned to the first channel of the plurality of channels, the first weighted value being different than a second weighted value assigned to a second channel of the plurality of channels;

determining one of the plurality of operating modes as a selected operating mode for the multi-mode antenna for the first channel based, at least in part, on the data; and
configuring the multi-mode antenna in the selected operating mode for the multi-mode antenna for the first channel.
