The present invention provides a method and apparatus for backhauling data in a communication system (100). A plurality of quality metrics are received at a centralized controller (105) from a plurality of base stations (101-104). The quality metrics are related to a data frame transmitted to the base stations (101-104) from a remote unit (113). A preferred data frame is determined from among the data frames. The centralized controller (105) then signals the base station associated with the preferred data frame to send the preferred data frame to the centralized controller.

1. A method for backhauling data in a communication system, the method comprising the steps of:in a centralized controller, receiving a plurality of quality metrics from a plurality of base stations, the plurality of quality metrics related to a data frame transmitted to the plurality of base stations from a remote unit, wherein the data frame is not received with an associated quality metric; determining whether at least one of the quality metrics exceeds a predetermined threshold; and in response to one of the quality metrics exceeding the predetermined threshold, signaling selected base stations to send the data frame to the centralized controller.
