1. A method for supervising transmissions from a remote station comprising:

  • measuring signal-to-noise ratios of received transmissions;

    determining if a frame is good or bad based on an average signal-to-noise ratio over a first time interval, the average signal-to-noise ratio ascertained by averaging a plurality of aggregated signal-to-noise ratios corresponding to pilot signals received from each of a plurality of base stations in an active set over the first time interval; and

    discontinuing transmission of a reverse link as a function of whether said average signal-to-noise ratio is below a first threshold for a second time interval.
