1. A method for performing Incremental Redundancy (IR) operations in a wireless receiver comprising: receiving an analog signal corresponding to a data block; sampling the analog signal to produce samples; equalizing the samples to produce soft decision bits of the data block; configuring, by a system processor of the wireless receiver, a plurality of IR processing module registers; initiating, by the system processor of the wireless receiver, operation of an IR processing module of the wireless receiver; and accessing, by the IR processing module, the plurality of IR processing module registers; and performing, by the IR processing module, IR operations on the soft decision bits of the data block in an attempt to correctly decode the data block.
