Abstract:
1. A method of generating data rate control information for a plurality of mobile stations within a sector of a mobile communication system, the method comprising: calculating a priority for each of the plurality of mobile stations; calculating a system load of the sector; and setting, according to the respectively calculated priorities, data rate control information to be transmitted to each mobile station, wherein the system load falls between predetermined threshold values, wherein said setting comprises: sequentially setting beginning from a mobile station having a lowest priority, the data rate control information to “down” until the system load reaches a “down” threshold and when the system load reaches the “down” threshold, setting, beginning from a mobile station having a highest priority, the data rate control information to “up” until the system load reaches an “up” threshold, and wherein the priority for each of the mobile stations is calculated by either where Priority, is the priority of a jth mobile station at an ith frame, where f is a weight of the jth mobile station, where G is an average geometry value of the jth mobile station that corresponds to an average signal-to-noise ratio enabling data reception from a base station, where SINR
