1. A method for determining a data rate of reverse packet data by a mobile station, in a mobile communication system for transmitting the reverse packet data from the mobile station to a base station, the method comprising the steps of:
receiving information related to a data rate and identifier information of the mobile station, transmitted from the base station over a first channel;
receiving data rate change information from the base station over a second channel;
if the identifier information received over the first channel is identical to identifier information of the mobile station, transmitting the reverse packet data using the information related to the data rate received over the first channel; and
if the identifier information received over the first channel is not identical to the identifier information of the mobile station, transmitting the reverse packet data at a data rate determined based on the data rate change information.
