Disclosed are methods and apparatus for predicting a channel quality indicator in a communication system, and in particular a delayed receiver. A disclosed method for determining the predictive channel quality indicator for a delayed receiver includes determining at least one channel quality indicator from a non-delayed receiver. The method also includes determining another channel quality indicator from the delayed receiver, and then calculating the predictive channel quality indicator for the delayed receiver through a function of the channel quality indicators from the non-delayed receiver and the channel quality indicator from the delayed receiver. Corresponding apparatus are also disclosed.

A rake receiver comprises a plurality of receive antennas and a processing system. Each receive antenna has a plurality of demodulation elements. The processing system is configured to assign a plurality of demodulation elements from a plurality of receive antennas to a multipath group, assign the multipath group to a multipath signal, and independently adjust a time delay value of each demodulation element in the multipath group to correspond to a local time delay of the multipath signal at the corresponding receive antenna.
