A method to process DP bits from multiple fingers within a WCDMA rake receiver is provided. DPCH pilot symbols are received, quantized and channel compensated. Then processing operations for individual fingers for the channel compensated quantized despread DPCH pilot symbols are chosen based on the DPCH slot format. The DPCH pilot symbols are processed based on the DPCH slot format in order to produce processed DPCH pilot symbols in a common format. These processed symbols may then be combined. Other embodiments may further allow for the computation of an SNR estimate based on the combined DPCH pilot symbols.
