1. A method for time tracking in a device operating on a communication network, wherein the device performs a time tracking algorithm, the method comprising: receiving a time division multiplex (TDM) pilot symbol; determining a delay spread based on the reception of the TDM pilot symbol; taking no action with respect to the time tracking algorithm when the delay spread is equal to or below a low threshold; disabling the time tracking algorithm for one or more received transmission frames when the delay spread is equal to or greater than a high threshold; and updating at least one parameter of the time tracking algorithm based upon the delay spread when the delay spread is between the low threshold and the high threshold.
