An access terminal that is configured for wireless communication with an access network within a sector is disclosed. The access terminal includes a transmitter for transmitting a reverse traffic channel to the access network, an antenna for receiving signals from the access network, a processor, memory in electronic communication with the processor, and instructions stored in the memory, where the instructions are executable to implement a method. The method includes the steps of (a) determining whether a current power allocation grant (1374) for a flow (1316) on the access terminal has been received from the access network (1304), (b) if the current power allocation grant (1374) is still active, setting a current power allocation (1338a) for the flow (1316) equal to the current power allocation grant (1374), (c) if the current power allocation grant (1374) has not been received, determining the current power allocation (1338a) for the flow (1316), (d) determining an accumulated power allocation for the flow (1316), (e) using the current power allocation (1374) for the flow (1316) and the accumulated power allocation for the flow (1316) to determine total available power (1338) for the flow (1316), and (f) using the total available power for the flow (1316) to determine a power level for a packet that is transmitted to the access network.
