Abstract:
1. A method carried out at an access terminal comprising: receiving one or more reverse activity bits from a wireless access network; based at least in part on the received reverse activity bits, determining a Quick Reverse Activity Bit (QRAB); selecting a first service-tier filter from a plurality of possible service-tier filters, wherein the first service-tier filter corresponds to a pre-defined service tier for which the access terminal is authorized, wherein each service-tier filter indicates a different number of QRAB determinations that should be used to determine a service-tier filtered QRAB; applying the first service-tier filter to the determined QRAB to determine a first service-tier filtered QRAB; and based at least in part on the first service-tier filtered QRAB, determining an adjustment to reverse-link activity of the access terminal.
