ABSTRACT:
In a communication system (100), a method and apparatus provides for determining reverse link load level for reverse link data rate scheduling. The method and apparatus include determining a number of locked fingers (208) on a reverse link signal in a receiver portion (200) of a base station, summing energy per bit or carrier energy over noise plus interference ratio of the reverse link signal at the locked fingers, and determining a reverse link capacity based on the summed energy per bit over noise plus interference ratio. A maximum reverse link data rate supported for a mobile station is determined for the reverse link communication with the base station. After communicating the maximum reverse link data rate to the mobile station, a reverse link data rate from mobile station to the base station is adjusted based on the maximum reverse link data rate.
