A receiver device for use in a wireless communication system ( 20 ) includes a rake receiver ( 32 ) and an equalizer receiver ( 34 ). A controller ( 36 ) selects one of the rake receiver ( 32 ) or the equalizer receiver ( 34 ) for processing a received signal. In some situations, the rake receiver ( 32 ) will provide better performance. In other situations, the equalizer receiver ( 34 ) will provide better performance. One embodiment includes a plurality of equalizers ( 34 A, 34 B). One of the equalizers processes a data packet from a received signal while another one of the equalizers trains for processing a signal from a subsequent scheduled user. Another example embodiment includes controlling an equalizer length based on a delay span or another selected channel metric.
