A method and apparatus for transmitting an AccessParameters group message in a wireless communication system, the method comprising generating the AccessParameters group message comprising a 2 bit AccessCycle Duration field wherein the AccessCycle Duration field determines the duration of the access cycle in units of Control Segment Periods (as defined by the Physical Layer), a 5 bit AccessSequencePartition field wherein the AccessSequencePartition field indicates the partition of the access sequence space to allow the access terminal to signal pilot power and buffer status information with the access sequence, a 4 bit MaxProbesPerSequence field wherein the MaxProbesPerSequence field determines the maximum number of probe sequence that can be part of one access sequence and is set to n+1, a 4 bit ProbeRampUpStepSize field wherein the ProbeRampUpStepSize field determines the power ramp up used for probes within a probe sequence and is set to a value 0.5*(1+n)dB, a 6 bit RDCHInitialPacketFormat field wherein the RDCHInitialPacketFormat field is set to the packet format that is used on the first transmission the access terminal makes on the R-DCH after getting an access grant, a 2 bit PilotStrengthSegmentation field wherein the PilotStrengthSegmentation field comprises a PilotThreshold1 and PilotThreshold2, a 8 bit OpenLoopAdjust field wherein the OpenLoopAdjust field determines the nominal power used by access terminal in the open loop power estimate and is set to value 70+n dB and transmitting the AccessParameters group message over a communication link.
