1. An apparatus comprising at least one processor, and at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
transmit, to a distributed unit, information indicating one or more capabilities of the apparatus, wherein the one or more capabilities comprise at least a capability for mitigating an overload of a control plane processing capacity of the apparatus in a slot;
receive, from the distributed unit, based on transmitting the information, one or more messages comprising a plurality of control plane sections to be processed in one or more slots;
determine whether the control plane processing capacity for the one or more slots is overloaded by the one or more messages; and
based on determining that the control plane processing capacity for the one or more slots is overloaded, apply the capability by discarding one or more control plane sections related to the one or more slots such that subsequent slots are unaffected by the overload in the one or more slots.
