The present invention provides a novel system, method and apparatus for allocating power between at least two communication services that share a common power output limit. Two communication services particularly suited for the present invention are voi ce services and data services transmitted on the downlink of a wireless network. An embodime nt of the method includes determining the actual consumption of power on the voice channels of the wireless network during a given time period, and allocating substantially th e same amount of power to the voice channels for the next time period, thus allowing for the allocation of the remaining amount of power to the data services, and thereby allowing, for example, increased modulation of the data services and thereby improve overall rates of data transfer and/or reliability of data transmission. Another embodiment of the method includes determining the power requirements for at least one communication service during the current time period; and, allocating a portion of the power budget to each communication services based on the determination.
