1. A code division multiple access (CDMA) subscriber unit comprising:
- an antenna;
a circuit coupled to the antenna, the circuit configured to transmit a communication to a base station over a first channel at a first data rate;
the circuit further configured to determine an adjusted data rate desired for support of the communication; and
the circuit further configured to transmit the communication to the base station over a second channel at a second data rate, wherein the first data rate is different than the second data rate;
wherein the circuit is further configured to receive power control information from the base station that is time multiplexed onto a physical channel using control signaling and adjust a power level associated with at least one of the channels in accordance with the power control information.
