A back haul architecture effectively reduces the reactivation times for both forward-link and reverse-link data transmissions over CDMA wireless communications systems, by relying on packet-mode transmissions over the back haul between a frame selection/distribution (FSD) function and the appropriate base stations for both forward-link data and reverse-link data. In particular, for the forward direction, the FSD function transmits forward-link data only to one base station (i.e., the primary base station), which is solely responsible for controlling the forward-link air interface with the corresponding mobile unit. As such, the forward link always operates in simplex mode for data transmissions, independent of how many base stations are operating in soft handoff for the reverse link with the same mobile unit. For the reverse direction, each base station that receives frames of reverse-link data from the mobile unit, assigns a time tag to the frame, divides the frame into one or more data packets, assigns a different sequence number to each data packet, and transmits the data packets to the FSD function over the back haul, all without first synchronizing time with any other base station that is also operating in reverse-link soft hand-off with that mobile unit. The FSD function (or preferably the radio link protocol (RLP) function) is then responsible for selecting packets of reverse-link data for subsequent processing (e.g., transmission to the network end of the connection). By limiting forward-link data transmissions to simplex mode and using packet-mode transmissions for reverse-link data, the need to first synchronize timing between the various base stations is eliminated for both forward-link and reverse-link data transmissions. As a result, reactivation delays are greatly reduced.
