    Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for adaptive rate control based on battery life. An access terminal in a wireless communication system that includes a base station will operate in a first state in which, at least, the access terminal responds to receiving reverse-noise messages from the base station by making adjustments to a data transmission rate on a reverse-link traffic channel to the base station in accordance with the received reverse-noise messages. Upon receiving a first threshold number of reverse-noise messages from the base station indicating that the reverse-link noise measured by the base station is alternating above and below the threshold level, and in response having a battery power level below a threshold power level, the access terminal will transition to operating in a second state in which, at least, the access terminal does not make the adjustments to the data transmission rate on the reverse-link traffic channel in response to receiving reverse-noise messages from the base station.

An exemplary method for paging an access terminal involves an access network: (a) before transmission of a page to an access terminal, determining whether or not the access terminal is a hybrid access terminal; (b) if the access terminal is not a hybrid access terminal, then selecting standard page settings for the page; (c) if the access terminal is a hybrid access terminal, then selecting adjusted page settings for the page, wherein the adjusted page settings increase the probability that the access terminal will successfully receive the page; and (d) applying the selected page settings and transmitting the page. To help increase the probability that the access terminal will successfully receive the page, the adjusted page settings for the page may involve setting that reduces or disables concatenation of the page and/or an increased page-transmission power.
