Techniques for handling fingers with large delay spread through utility optimization are described. A first signal may be received, through a finger of a plurality of fingers in a receiver, at a time that is later than a reference time after a reference signal is received by a reference finger of the plurality of fingers. The reference signal may be included in an on-time group corresponding to a cell. The first signal may be included in a late group corresponding to a virtual cell. The first signal and the reference signal may be compared to one another. Based on the comparing, it may be determined whether to wait for additional signals in the late group or process the signals in the on-time group.

Methods and apparatus for handling fingers with large delay spread through utility optimization

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to a method and an apparatus for unified iterative demodulation-decoding that can be employed in both multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and non-MIMO wireless systems.

A method for optimizing throughput in a wireless communication system is disclosed. A target metric is estimated based on previous acknowledgment data. A channel quality indicator offset is determined based on the target metric. A channel quality indicator is adjusted based on the channel quality indicator offset. The channel quality indicator indicates the quality of a wireless transmission channel.

Optimizing throughput in a wireless communication system

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to a method for iterative decoding with re-transmissions of data and to a method for iterative decoding with soft decision directed channel estimation.
