An exemplary power control command (PCC) transmission scheme is disclosed. In a first aspect, an access terminal may decrease the rate at which to send PCCs directed to an access network in time periods during which a reverse noise on the wireless link over which the access terminal and access network are communicating is greater than a threshold value. In a second aspect, the access terminal may suspend transmission of a first type of PCCs (e.g., either power up or power down PCCs) directed to the access network in time periods during which the access network's forward transmission power to the access terminal is at boundary level. The exemplary PCC transmission scheme may thus enable the access terminal to decrease the amount of PCC data sent to the access network, which may in turn decrease the reverse noise on the wireless link and thereby improve reverse-link communication. |
