Outer loop power control (OLPC) for the reverse link considers frame information associated with at least two reverse link traffic channels, the transmit power of which is referenced to the transmit power of a reverse link pilot channel R-PICH. A traffic OLPC setpoint is determined based on information such as target frame error rate (FER) and actual frame errors associated with each traffic channel, and the traffic OLPC setpoint is converted to a R-PICH OLPC setpoint. The traffic OLPC setpoint may be calculated from weighted frame information generated by combining the received frame information. Alternatively, a traffic channel OLPC setpoint may be determined for each channel, and a weighted traffic OLPC setpoint calculated from the individual traffic channel OLPC setpoint. The setpoint adjustment may depend on received frame errors, where the power up step size is a multiple of the power down step size, the multiple calculated from target FERs.
