Claim One:
1. In a communication system having a first communication station and a second communication station, the first communication station for communicating a communication signal to the second communication station, the communication signal weighted at a first weighting element of the first communication station by a first antenna weight and the communication signal weighted at least at a second weighting element of the first communication station with at least a second antenna weight, an improvement of apparatus for facilitating optimization of selection of the first and at least second antenna weights, separately, said apparatus comprising: a perturbation vector selector coupled to the first communication station, said perturbation vector selector for selecting at least a first set of perturbation vector values to form at least a first selected perturbation vector; and a perturbation vector applicator coupled to said perturbation vector selector, said perturbation vector applicator for selecting application of applying the perturbation values forming the at least the first selected perturbation vector to the first and at least second weighting elements, the perturbation values applied to the first and at last second weighting element at least in part determinative of the first and at least second antenna weights.
