1. In a system comprising a network of base stations (BSs) and a mobile station (MS) for establishing a connection and maintaining one or more communication channels between them, a method for minimizing dropped connections between the MS and one of the BSs, comprising:

  • determining a frame error rate (FER) of a communication channel being maintained between the MS and the BS, the communication channel being a reverse traffic channel;

    increasing a processing gain of the communication channel by decreasing a data rate of the communication channel if the FER is within an unacceptable range; and

    during call origination,initially transmitting the reverse traffic channel at a standby data rate lower than a voice data rate, andincrementally increasing the standby data rate if the FER is within an acceptable range until the standby data rate is increased to the voice data rate.
