1. A method for communicating a plurality of reverse link feedback channels in a multicarrier communication system, comprising:
- receiving an indication at a mobile station limiting available reverse link frequencies usable for transmission of the plurality of reverse link feedback channels by the mobile station to fewer than a total number of available reverse link frequencies; and
code division multiplexing a selected plurality of the reverse link feedback channels on a single reverse link frequency based on the indication received using a respective pseudo-random noise (PN) code mask for each of said reverse link feedback channels for supporting transmission of feedback information corresponding to transmission of forward link channels over multiple forward link frequencies.
