Summary:An apparatus and method for transmitting an indicator of channel quality while minimizing the use of a broadcast channel is described. A metric of forward link geometry of observed transmission signals 5 is determined. An indicator of channel quality value is determined as a function of the observed transmission signals. An access sequence is selected, randomly, from one group of a plurality of groups of access sequences, wherein each of the plurality of groups of access sequences correspond to different ranges of channel quality values. 404 408 412 INFO OBSERVED SEND PREAMBLE (416 SEND ACK AT APPROPRIATE POWER LEVEL SEND PAYLOAD
