Abstract
The invention relates to a method and device () of controlling bit rate of a terminal () included in a group of terminals. To this end, a method is provided comprising the steps of acquiring a predetermined QoS parameter for the terminal, which parameter stipulates target QoS to be given to the terminal relative to other terminals in the group, and acquiring either one or both of (a) at least one measure of a channel condition of the terminal and (b) at least one capacity measure of the terminal. Further, the method comprises the step of controlling the bit rate of the terminal on the basis of a reference weighting factor created by a combination of the acquired predetermined QoS parameter, the acquired at least one measure of a channel condition of the terminal and/or the acquired at least one capacity measure of the terminal.
