Abstract
A reduced data rate communication system, such as for example a fixed wireless access system, comprises a plurality of user stations each capable of communicating with a common base station. The user stations can make voice or data calls. The data rate available during a data call is controlled in accordance with the bandwidth or channel capacity whilst still allowing access to the required number of users. The data rate may be reduced prior to or during the data call.
