Abstract
A system, method, and wireless device for determining a forward channel rate for wirelessly communicating information to a wireless communication device is disclosed. The method includes receiving data rate control information from each wireless communication device (104, 106) in a plurality of wireless communication devices (104, 106). The method also comprises requesting a set of information. The data rate control information includes signal strength information associated with each of the wireless communication devices (104, 106). The data rate control information received from each of the wireless communication devices is compared to each other. A modulation and coding scheme is determined for wirelessly communicating the set of information to the plurality of wireless communication devices. The modulation and coding scheme is based on the data rate control information associated with a wireless communication device (104) having a weakest signal strength.
