Provided is a more efficient manner of transmitting a control message to reach into a neighboring sector (e.g., inter-sector) of a wireless network environment. The control message can be utilized for purposes such as handoff, indicating an amount of interference, inter-sector power control for managing inter-sector interference, sector loading, or other control messages. The control message can be placed on a set of resources utilizing planned reuse and/or statistical reuse. Statistical reuse includes selecting a subcarrier set for carrying the control message. According to some aspects, the control message can be sent over a backhaul channel.

What is claimed is: 1. A method for transmitting one or more inter-sector control messages, comprising:dividing a set of message transmission resources into two or more portions, wherein one of the portions is assigned to a control channel and at least one different portion is assigned to a remainder of data to be transmitted;assigning a respective reuse pattern to each of at least two of the portions, wherein the reuse pattern for the control channel reuses the message transmission resources less frequently than the reuse pattern for the remainder of the data;andtransmitting, using a transmitter, a control message over the control channel using the reuse pattern for the control channel.
