Claim 11:
12. A method for wireless communication, comprising:
receiving, at a network node, prior to transmitting a first control plane message, a second control plane message from a wireless device requesting a specific processing order that is determined by the wireless device for processing a plurality of user plane functions;
determining, at the network node, 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 determined 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
transmitting, to the wireless device, the first control plane message comprising the processing order,
wherein the processing order is indicated using numbers, indexes, identities, or types, each of numbers, indexes, identities, or types 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.
