Softer handoff groups are provided utilizing fractional frequency reuse s et, which can be managed by a single master sector that is part of the group . The group can based on handoff rules that can include a group indication b y an access point or a group request by an access terminal. A terminal is pr ovided functionality to select a softer handoff group, which can be indicate d by an active set update. An access point can discontinue serving terminals by groups by reducing an active set size to one. Diversity can be provided such that if a transmission from one sector fades, the other sector can prov ide the transmission, mitigating loss of data. Thus, robustness against inad equate channel conditions can be obtained.
