Abstract
Aspects of a method and system for a single antenna receiver system for HSDPA are provided. Aspects of a system for processing RF signals, the method may comprise a cluster path processor that computes channel estimates based on at least one of a plurality of received individual distinct path signals. An equalizer may equalize at least one of the plurality of distinct path signals. A maximum ratio combiner may combine at least one of the plurality of distinct path signals. A signal to noise averaging processor may compute at least one estimated signal to noise ratio. An HSDPA switch may select either the equalized plurality of individual distinct path signals, or the combined plurality of individual distinct path signals based on at least one computed signal to noise ratio.
