1. A mobile device comprising:

  • an antenna;

    transceiver circuitry operatively coupled to the antenna;

    wherein the transceiver circuitry is configured to receive, over a traffic channel, data indicating an offset;

    wherein the transceiver circuitry is configured to transmit a plurality of first signals over a first type of channel in first time intervals and a plurality of second signals over a second type of channel in second time intervals, wherein the first time intervals are determined based on the indicated offset and are separated by an integer number of time slots greater than one, wherein the first type of channel and the second type of channel are not transmitted in the same time intervals; and

    wherein the plurality of first signals include no packet data and the plurality of second signals include packet data; and

    power control circuitry configured to separately control a transmission power level of the first type of channel and the second type of channel;

    wherein the transceiver circuitry is further configured to receive power commands separately for the first type of channel and the second type of channel, each separate power command including a power control value in decibels computed in a base station;

    wherein the first type of channel carries information including channel quality information and resource request information.
