ABSTRACT:
Techniques for polling fingers on a channel (which are fingers for which symbols are to be combined) to determine the last finger on the channel. As each finger is polled, the polled finger compares its state information with the state information for the channel to determine whether or not it is the last finger on the channel. The polled finger may be deemed as the last finger if (1) the polled finger is the current last finger, (2) the polled finger is later than the current last finger, or (3) all fingers on the channel have been polled and none of the fingers indicated that it is the last finger. If the polled finger is deemed as the last finger then, (1) the channel state information is updated with the polled finger state information, and (2) the symbols provided by the polled finger may be marked as being ready for subsequent processing.
