Abstract:
1. A method for dynamically allocating demodulation resources for a wideband wireless communication receiver, comprising: receiving a plurality of quality measurements related to a plurality of frequency carriers over which signals are received; comparing the quality measurements to determine an allocation of resources to a plurality of demodulators for demodulating the signals at an increased total throughput; allocating the resources to the demodulators according to a determined allocation; and reallocating one or more demodulation fingers from a first demodulator to a second demodulator based at least in part on a projected change in overall throughput, wherein the projected change in overall throughput is projected based at least on a non-linear response of a data rate of a frequency carrier to a potential change in a first signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the frequency carrier related to the first demodulator.
