To address the need for an interference-efficient method and apparatus to provide CDMA services, embodiments of the present invention adjust the outer loop frame error rate (FER) target on the forward and reverse links (110-113) while providing communication services to remote units (101-102). At times during a service when a link is conveying primarily "empty" eighth rate frames, the FER target for that link is increased. This improves system capacity by effectively reducing the power needed to transmit such frames and thereby reducing the resultant interference. |
