Annex A (informative):
Guideline on maximum number of DL PDCP SDUs per TTI
In order to help the dimensioning of the UE design, values for the maximum number of DL PDCP SDUs per TTI from
Table A-1 may be used.
Note: Due to the need for the network buffer data for efficient scheduling, values for Category 1 and 2 are same.
It is not expected that category 1 UE has to sustain the same rate of PDCP SDUs per TTI as category 2
for prolonged period of time.
