| 1. A method for processing radio frequency (RF) signals, the method comprising:
computing channel estimates based on at least one of a plurality of received individual distinct path signals;
generating timing reference signals indicating a location of said at least one of said plurality of received individual distinct
path signals;
combining at least a portion of said plurality of received individual distinct path signals as a signal cluster based on at
least one of said computed channel estimates and said generated timing reference signals; and
selecting one or both of a result of said combining and/or a result of equalization processing, said selecting is based on
a comparison of estimates, said estimates comprising one or both of a signal level and/or a noise level corresponding to said
result of said combining, and one or both of a signal level and/or a noise level corresponding to said result of said equalization
processing.
