1. An apparatus comprising:

  • at least one processor configured to;

    generate a scrambling sequence based on pilot information for a terminal;

    generate pilot symbols based on the scrambling sequence;

    identify one or more code division multiple access (CDMA) subsegments assigned to the terminal by at least one sector, wherein the one or more CDMA subsegments comprise a set of subcarriers shared by terminals served by the at least one sector for sending control information on a reverse link in the wireless communication system, and wherein the set of subcarriers comprises a subset of a system bandwidth;

    map the pilot symbols to a time frequency block of the one or more CDMA subsegments, the time frequency block covering a subset of time frequency resources of the one or more CDMA subsegments; and

    send the mapped pilot symbols in the one or more CDMA subsegments on the reverse link to the at least one sector in a wireless communication system; and

    a memory coupled to the at least one processor.
