Abstract
A method for rate selection by a communication device for enhanced uplink during soft handoff in a wireless communication system includes a first step of receiving information from a scheduler. This information can include one or more of scheduling, a rate limit, a power margin limit, and a persistence. A next step includes determining a data rate for an enhanced uplink during soft handoff using the information. A next step includes transmitting to a serving base station on an enhanced uplink channel at the data rate determined from the determining step.
