Figure 8.2.8-1: MBR

The UL/DL MBR fields shall be encoded as kilobits per second (1 kbps = 1000 bps) in binary value. The UL/DL MBR fields may require converting values in bits per second to kilobits per second when the UL/DL MBR values are received from an interface other than GTPv2 interface. If such conversions result in fractions, then the value of UL/DL MBR fields shall be rounded upwards. The range of UL/DL MBR is specified in 3GPP TS 36.413 [10].

NOTE: The encoding is aligned on the encoding specified in 3GPP TS 29.274 [9].
