Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate recovering from error due to false detection of completion signals at an access terminal. An access terminal specific request signal can be sent to a target base station to initiate handoff or semi-connected state exit. A completion signal can be transferred in response to the access terminal specific request signal. To mitigate errors stemming from false detection of the completion signal at the access terminal, forward link and reverse link confirmation signals can be transferred to confirm successful handoff or connected state re-entry completion. For example, the access terminal can determine handoff or re-entry to be successful when a forward link confirmation signal is detected prior to expiration of a timer. Moreover, the forward link and reverse link confirmation signals can each include more CRC bits as compared to a number of CRC bits included in the completion signal.

Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate broadcasting an interference level and adjusting transmit power corresponding to a reverse link in accordance with the interference level. An interference indication can be broadcasted on a broadcast channel in a wireless communication system. In response to the broadcast, mobile devices can adjust transmit power on the reverse link based upon considerations of the interference level. Further, mobile devices can evaluate an initial set point of a transmit power level during periods of inactivity.
