Abstract
A method for carrying out data integrity protection on a communication network. According to an implementation, a wireless communication device indicates, to a wireless network, the maximum data rate up to which integrity protection is supported for user plane data. A network node (e.g., a node of the core network, such as an SMF) receives this information and determines whether or not to enable integrity protection for user plane data based on the information (possibly in conjunction with other information such as the minimum data rate to be supported, etc.). The network node then communicates the decision to enable or disable integrity protection to a RAN node (e.g., a wireless base station).
