<p>Aspects including methods and apparatuses for setting up a reverse link data transmission within a wireless communications system are disclosed. An access terminal sends, to an access network, an initial data packet in a sequence of data packets including a data portion and a header portion including an identifier of a first type, the identifier of the first type configured to uniquely identify the given access terminal in more than one of a subset of sectors of the wireless communications system. The access network sends a message to the access terminal to (i) assign a dedicated channel to the given access terminal, or to (ii) assign an identifier of a second type to uniquely identify the given access terminal in a single sector of the wireless communications system. The access network thereafter receives additional packets from the access terminal in accordance with the assignment.</p> |
