Abstract
A wireless communication network is able to perform fast reverse link scheduling by providing data to a user terminal to enable it to select parameters that a base station is to use when scheduling a reverse link transmission. The user terminal that is in hand-off and is communicating with a plurality of base stations selects among the received network measured parameters from a plurality of base station transceiver sets to prompt each base station transceiver set to utilize a set of network parameters that will not likely cause excessive interference or drop offs in any of the cells supported by the base station transceiver set with which the user terminal is communicating. Responsive to receiving the user terminal selected network parameters, each BTS determines when to transmit a burst of data, the data rate and a power level for the data for the user terminal 176. While the network parameters transmitted by the BTSs to the user terminal may comprise many different types of signals, the described embodiment includes received reverse link signal energy measurements and rise over thermal (ROT) measurements.
