<p>A method and apparatus for controlling the transmit power of a high rate code division multiple access (CDMA) link is described. The channel condition to a subscriber unit (30a, 30b, 30c) is evaluated and the configuration of a high rate link in soft handoff is based on the channel condition. If a fading channel is detected the supplemental channels (52) of the high rate link are transmitted from multiple base stations (32a, 32b). If a non-fading channel is detected the supplemental channels of the high rate link are transmitted from a single base station. Parameters monitored to determine the channel condition include the pilot strength, pilot code offset and error rate.</p> |
