Abstract
A method and rate controlling node (206) for providing a recommended data rate for a communication i of data on a radio channel between a data sending node (200) and a data receiving node (202) over a shared radio link (204). The rate controlling node (206) determines a fair data rate Ri for the data communication based on a current load on the shared radio link (204), and also determines a maximum flow data rate Rmax,i for the data communication i a highest possible data rate that the data sending node (200) is able to use in the data communication. The rate controlling node (206) then signals (2:5) a recommended data rate for the data communication i as a minimum of the determined fair data rate Ri and the determined maximum flow data rate Rmax,i to the data sending node (200).
