Operating a wireless communication system

A communication device for a wireless communication system, the communication device comprising:

• an antenna arrangement configured to adjust a polarization of a radio frequency signal to be transmitted via the antenna arrangement, and
• a logic coupled to the antenna arrangement and configured to send a first downlink pilot signal having a first polarization via the antenna arrangement,
• send a second downlink pilot signal having a second polarization via the antenna arrangement, wherein the first and second pilot signals are orthogonal to each other and the first and second polarizations are different,
• determine combining information, the combining information being a result of an optimization of a combined power of the first and second downlink pilot signals as they are received at a further communication device, the combined power being a function of the first downlink pilot signal as it is received at the further communication device, the second downlink pilot signal as it is received at the further communication device, and the combining information relating to the first and second downlink pilot signals as they are received at the further communication device, wherein the combining information is varied for optimizing the combined power, and
• adjust sending parameters of the antenna arrangement based on the combining information.
