Based on group velocity of the whistler mode, we theoretically predict the range of reconnection rate (R) in the whistler regime depending on the half width (w) of the current sheet (CS) in the diffusion region. The maximum value of R is Rmax =0.35 and it occurs for w ~0.45di, where di is the ion inertial length. A quantitative comparison between the theory and simulations reveals that the steady-state reconnection rates seen in recent simulations with large sizes of simulated plasmas are the result of the group-velocity cones of whistler waves emanating from thin electron current layer (ECL) in the electron diffusion region.
