Methods and apparatus are presented for dynamically decoding acknowledgment signals. A source receives an acknowledgment signal and starts monitoring an energy value associated with the acknowledgment signal. If the energy value exceeds a predetermined threshold amount before the end of the acknowledgment signal, then the source is confident that the portion of the acknowledgment signal received up to that point could be decoded successfully. Hence, the source decodes that portion of the acknowledgment signal and disregards the remainder of the acknowledgment signal.

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for dynamically decoding, the apparatus comprising:at least one memory element; andat least one processing element configured to execute a set of instructions stored within the at least one memory element, the set of instructions for:transmitting a packet of data;receiving an extended acknowledgment signal of extended duration for the transmitted packet;accumulating a received signal quality of an increasing portion of the extended acknowledgment signal while the extended acknowledgment signal is being received and until the received signal quality of the increasing portion is greater than or equal to a threshold value, wherein the received signal quality is indicative of quality of the extended acknowledgment signal, and wherein information in the extended acknowledgment signal can be decoded before the entire extended acknowledgment signal is received; anddecoding the increasing portion of the extended acknowledgment signal and disregarding the remainder of the extended acknowledgment signal.
