Summary:The invention provides cooperative autonomous and scheduled resource allocation for a distributed communication system. The present invention relates to improvements in the operation of a medium access control (MAC) layer of an access terminal in a wireless communication system. An access terminal (206) is configured for wireless communication with an access network (204) within a sector (1032). The access terminal (206) includes a transmitter (2608) for transmitting a reverse traffic channel to the access network (204), an antenna (2614) for receiving signals from the access network (204), a processor (2602) and memory (2604) in electronic communication with the processor (2602). Instructions stored in the memory (2604) implement a method of determining whether a current power allocation grant (1374) for a flow (1216) on the access terminal (206) has been received from the access network (204). If the current power allocation grant (1374) is still active, a current power allocation (1338a) for the flow is se
