Claim 14:
15. A device for wireless communication, comprising:
a processor in a wireless device configured to:
determine, at the wireless device, prior to receiving a first control plane message from a network node, a specific processing order for processing a plurality of user plane functions;
transmit, by the wireless device to the network node, a second control plane message comprising a request that indicates the specific processing order;
receive, from the network node, the first control plane message comprising information that indicates a processing order for processing the plurality of user plane functions comprising a service data adaptation protocol layer, a packet data convergence protocol layer and a radio link control layer, wherein the processing order is based on at least one of a type of service, a deployment type, a connection mode, one or more capabilities of the network node, or one or more capabilities of a wireless device; and
process the plurality of user plane functions based on the processing order:
wherein the processing order is indicated using numbers, indexes, identities, or types, each representing a particular processing order that specifies a sequence of processes among the service data adaptation protocol layer, a packet data convergence protocol layer and a radio link control layer that are included in the plurality of user plane functions.
