Techniques for performing time tracking in a communication system utilizing a cyclic prefix are described. In an aspect, a receiver may perform time tracking and determine an FFT window position based on a metric related to inter-symbol interference (ISI) and inter-carrier interference (ICI). The receiver may determine an early energy for signal paths earlier than the current FFT window position, determine a late energy for signal paths later than the current FFT window position, determine the metric based on the early and late energies, compute an update amount for the FFT window position based on the metric, and update the FFT window position based on the update amount with a time tracking loop (TTL). In yet another aspect, the receiver may compute the FFT window position based on a channel impulse response (CIR) estimate directly, without using a TTL.
