Abstract: A mobile device accesses antenna equipment of at least a first antenna augmentation peripheral (AAP) using a first set of radio channels for communication between the mobile device and the first AAP and uses a second set of radio channels for communication with a wide area network (WAN). The mobile device receives a first performance metric for at least one channel of the second set of radio channels from the first AAP using the first set of radio channels. The mobile device determines a composite performance metric using the first performance metric and a second performance metric related to the second set of radio channels. The mobile device transmits the composite performance metric as the mobile device performance metric to the WAN and obtains a downlink radio resource assignment from the WAN based on the composite performance metric.
