It has been recognized that in a wireless communication system certain frames of encoded speech data transmitted between a base station and a mobile unit, or between a mobile unit and a base station, are more critical than others. A frame may be determined to be erased by the receiving base station or mobile unit due to noise or interference over the wireless transmission medium. If an erased frame cannot be recreated from one or more preceding frames, then it is more critical than a frame that can be recreated by an extrapolation of data from one or more preceding frames. Accordingly, on a frame-by-frame basis, each frame in a sequence of frames is identified as being critical or non-critical. Each frame that is identified as being critical is then transmitted in a manner that is more robust than the manner in which non-critical frames are transmitted to decrease the likelihood that a receiver will determine that the frame is erased. In a CDMA system, a current frame is identified as being critical by forming a weighted sum of the differences between corresponding frame parameters that represent the current frame and frame parameters that represent a previous frame. That weighted sum is compared with a threshold. If the weighted sum exceeds the threshold, then the current frame is classified as being a critical frame and is transmitted at a higher output level than non-critical frames are transmitted.
