A system and method for enhancing the performance of a wireless communication system are disclosed. For example, a method for enhancing the performance of a wireless communication system is disclosed, which includes the steps of receiving a signal including a first plurality of sub-bands, calculating a plurality of channel quality values, each channel quality value associated with a respective sub-band of the first plurality of sub-bands, conveying the plurality of channel quality values to a processing unit associated with a transmitter unit that transmitted the signal, determining the highest channel quality value from the conveyed plurality of channel quality values, determining a cyclic delay value associated with the highest channel quality value, and applying the cyclic delay value to a second plurality of sub-bands.
