APN Aggregate Maximum Bit Rate (APN-AMBR) is defined in clause 9.9.4.2 of 3GPP TS 24.301 [42], but shall be formatted as shown in Figure 7.7.98-1 as Unsigned32 binary integer values in kbps (1000 bits per second).

Figure 7.7.98.1: APN-Aggregate Maximum Bit Rate (APN-AMBR)

The APN-AMBR for uplink and the APN-AMBR for downlink may require converting values in bits per second to kilobits per second when the APN-AMBR for uplink and the APN-AMBR for downlink are received from an interface other than GTP interface. If such conversions result in fractions, then the value of APN-AMBR for uplink and the APN-AMBR for downlink shall be rounded upwards.
