1. A method performed by a wireless device for bitrate recommendation on an uplink or downlink communication channel between the wireless device and a network node in a wireless communications system, comprising:

requesting the network node to recommend a data rate on the uplink or downlink communication channel for the wireless device by:

transmitting to the network node a first information element that indicates the request via a protocol layer on the uplink communication channel;

wherein the first information element including a first index to a table of data rates on the uplink channel or downlink channel that indicates a desired data rate.
