A codebook 58 includes a first subset of M codewords 82 and a second subset of N-M remaining codewords 84. Codewords in the first subset are used for signaling a beginning or end of an in-band stream of data. Designated frames 90 make up the stream and include both speech and data. Each codeword index defines L bits that are used to encode speech. Within the designated frames, D bits of the L bits carry data and the remaining L-D bits are used to search from a truncated number of codewords uniquely identifiable by the L-D bits. The designated frames may be a set number of consecutive frames, or the set number of frames dispersed to recur once every 1 / K frames. The number of designated frames may be extended by re-transmitting a codeword from the first subset, or truncated by transmitting a stop codeword that is also within the first subset of codewords. All of the L bits are available to search the codebook in non-designated frames that do not carry data. Data rate and effective codebook size may be selected by the various codewords of the first subset.

In an H-ARQ system, when transmission on the FL MAC channel of DRCLock or CQILock bits is eliminated, other feedback information carried by the FL MAC channel is used as an RL quality indication for determining at least in part when to make a serving sector switch from a current serving sector to a non-serving sector in its active set. In particular, when data traffic is present, the ACKs / NAKs fed back to the AT on the FL MAC channel are used at least in part in determining when to make such a serving sector switch. In systems operating in accordance with CDMA2000 EVDO RevA / RevB standards, for example, this information is used in conjunction with quality measurements on the FL in determining when to make a serving sector switch. In future systems operating in accordance with CDMA2000 EVDO RevC standards currently under development in which the RL can be switched independently of the FL, this information is directly used to determine when to make an RL serving sector switch.
