A process ( 10 ) to facilitate determination of a particular data rate to use when communicating data with respect to a mobile station comprises providing ( 11 ) historical information regarding past radio frequency channel conditions, data quantity information ( 12 ) as corresponds to a current data file to be transmitted, and assessing ( 13 ) historical data transmission as correspond to the mobile station. One then selects ( 14 ) a data rate as a function of such information. In a preferred embodiment, this comprises varying a time scaling factor as a function of relative data file size, which time scaling factor serves to influence the extent to which past history serves to otherwise influence the selection of a particular data rate.
