In a variable rate wireless communication system, an explicit reduced-bit rate indicator is used to communicate the data rate and configuration of the transmission to the receiver. Data throughput is increased by reducing the number of bits required to indicate data rate and channel configuration. Related allocation of total transmit power, and related receive processing are conserved. Reception is enhanced by increased probability of correct decoding. Receiver performance is enhanced by reducing the probability of false erasures and associated outerloop setpoint adjustment errors when the receiver is notified of channels with zero data rates. Power consumption is reduced by using fewer bits to communicate data rate and channel configuration information, and by more accurate setpoint adjustment.
