Method and apparatus for determining the transmission data rate in a multi-user communication system

A between the base machine and a remote user communication data rate method and device. Ends of regardless from the base substrate from the remote user and measurement is installed on the communication source utilization rate of reverse connection resource to the remote user link forward resource. The utilization rate value according to obtain compares at least preset threshold value; and according to the comparison result exchange to the communication source the number of the user communication data rate or communication.
