1. A method of scheduling transmit rates and transmit power levels of data users in a wireless communication system during softer handoff, comprising:

  • transmitting signals between a base station having at least two sectors and a remote station via at least one first channel per sector, wherein the transmitted signals comprise voice-data;

    measuring at the base station a ratio of transmission power levels for the voice-data transmitted via the at least one first channel per sector;

    determining a historical profile for the ratio of transmission power levels; and

    using the historical profile for the ratio of transmission power levels to select a second channel transmission power level and data rate for transmitting additional data.
