In an RF communication system, aspects for diversity processing may comprise processing a plurality of received multipath signals as clusters of signals. The received multipath signals may be diversity signals received from diversity transmit antennas at a base station. Timing information may be generated for tracking the clusters of signals. Complex phase and amplitude information may also be estimated for at least some of the multipath signals in the clusters of signals. At least a portion of the received multipath signals may be combined to form a single path processed diversity signal. A plurality of the single path processed diversity signals may be combined together, where each of the single path processed diversity signals may be derived from one of the plurality of diversity transmit antennas at the base station. The diversity signals may be transmitted via at least one of a plurality of diversity modes.
