Claim 0:
1. A method of configuring a multi-mode antenna communicatively coupled to a device, the method comprising:
configuring, by one or more processors, the multi-mode antenna in each of a plurality of operating modes while the device is tuned to a first channel of a plurality of channels, the multi-mode antenna having a different radiation pattern in each of the plurality of operating modes;
obtaining, by the one or more processors, 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, by the one or more processors, 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, by the one or more processors, 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, by the one or more processors, 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, by the one or more processors, the multi-mode antenna in the selected operating mode for the multi-mode antenna for the first channel.
