1. An access terminal, comprising:

  • a communications interface;

    a storage medium; and

    a processing circuit coupled to the communications interface and the storage medium, the processing circuit adapted to;

    transmit via the communications interface a plurality of previously successful access probes;

    determine an initial transmission power level based at least in part on one or more parameters associated with the plurality of previously successful access probes; and

    transmit via the communications interface an initial access probe of a subsequent access attempt, wherein the initial access probe is transmitted at the determined initial transmission power level;

    wherein determining the initial transmission power level is further based on at least one of;

    an average power level of at least one or more of the plurality of previously successful access probes; and

    a difference of an average open-loop power level associated with the plurality of previously successful access probes and an open-loop power level associated with the subsequent access attempt.
