Abstract
A channel dispersion estimation algorithm(s) may be implemented within a channel length estimation module of a multi-branch equalizer processing module that disables a branch of the multi-branch equalizer processing module when the channel length or channel delay spread associated with received radio frequency (RF) bursts exceeds a predetermined threshold. The channel dispersion estimation algorithm identifies when the radio frequency (RF) bursts have a channel length or channel delay spread that can affect receiver performance. The channel length estimation module may disable interference cancellation by a branch of the multi-branch equalizer processing module in response to such a channel length or channel delay spread.
