A method for improving a connection parameter relating to a connection between a base station and at least one mobile station, comprising: - detecting receipt of a first polarization phase change command at the base station from the at least one mobile station; - changing a polarization phase of transmissions from the base station to the at least one mobile station in a first direction responsive to the first polarization phase change command; - detecting receipt of a second polarization phase change command at the base station from the at least one mobile station after changing the polarization phase of the transmissions from the base station to the at least one mobile station; - changing the polarization phase of transmissions from the base station to the at least one mobile station responsive to the second polarization phase change command, wherein the second polarization phase change command indicates a polarization phase change in the first direction or in a second direction opposite to the first direction; - maintaining the polarization phase of transmissions from the base station to the at least one mobile station responsive to the second polarization phase change command comprising a finish command; - determining whether a value of the connection parameter increased or decreased responsive to transmissions from the base station having the polarization phase changed in the first direction; - generating the second polarization phase change command to change the polarization phase of transmissions in the first direction and second direction responsive to a determination that the value of the connection parameter decreased and increased, respectively; and - repeating the determining and generating steps until a minimum value of the value of the connection parameter is determined. - detecting receipt of a first polarization phase change command at the base station from the at least one mobile station; - changing a polarization phase of transmissions from the base station to the at least one mobile station in a first direction responsive to the first polarization phase change command; - detecting receipt of a second polarization phase change command at the base station from the at least one mobile station after changing the polarization phase of the transmissions from the base station to the at least one mobile station; - changing the polarization phase of transmissions from the base station to the at least one mobile station responsive to the second polarization phase change command, wherein the second polarization phase change command indicates a polarization phase change in the first direction or in a second direction opposite to the first direction; - maintaining the polarization phase of transmissions from the base station to the at least one mobile station responsive to the second polarization phase change command comprising a finish command; - determining whether a value of the connection parameter increased or decreased responsive to transmissions from the base station having the polarization phase changed in the first direction; - generating the second polarization phase change command to change the polarization phase of transmissions in the first direction and second direction responsive to a determination that the value of the connection parameter decreased and increased, respectively; and - repeating the determining and generating steps until a minimum value of the value of the connection parameter is determined. <EOS>
