<p>A wireless communication system facilitates wireless communication with a mobile unit (114) operating within a respective service area. The wireless communication system includes a mobile switching center (102) and a plurality of base stations (106, 108, 110, 112) with each base station coupled to the mobile switching center (102) and providing wireless coverage within a respective portion of the service area. The mobile unit (114) wirelessly connects to at least two of the base stations (106, 108, 110, 112) (or sectors of the base stations) that transmit to the mobile unit (114) via respective forward links at respective transmit levels. These respective transmit levels are based upon forward link requirements of the mobile unit (114). The mobile unit (114) transmits to the at least two base stations/sectors via a respective plurality of reverse links. Forward link transmit levels may be determined based upon the quality of corresponding reverse link transmissions or from the quality of pilot signals or forward link transmissions received by the mobile unit (114).</p> |
