Abstract

In one embodiment, a method is provided of communicating in a wireless communication system. The method comprises (a) setting a decrement burst variable to be equal to a predetermined number representing a number of bursts of data from which to prematurely decode a USF codeword, (b) receiving a received burst of data comprising USF related data related to a portion of a USF codeword, (c) extracting said USF related data from said equalized received burst of data, (d) determining if a burst number variable is equal to said decrement burst variable, (e) incrementing said burst number variable and repeating (b) through (d) if said burst number variable is not equal to said decrement burst variable, and (f) decoding said USF codeword if said burst number variable is equal to said decrement burst variable.
