Abstract: User equipment (UE) determines whether it supports transfer of data over the user plane and, if the UE supports transfer of data over the user plane, the UE transmits, to a network entity, a data session establishment request including an indication of a maximum data rate for the data session. If the UE does not support transfer of data over the user plane, the UE transmits, to the network entity, a data session establishment request including a value (e.g. predetermined value) indicating that the UE does not support transfer of data over the user plane. If the data session establishment request includes the value or does not include an indication of a maximum data rate, the network entity may determine that the UE does not support user plane integrity protection. The established data session may be a PDU session and the indication may comprise an integrity protection maximum data rate IE.
