3G UE TIMERS AND CONFIGURATIONS

T300 can be set to one of the following values: 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1400,
1600, 1800, 2000, 3000, 4000, 6000, 8000 ms.

Connection Request message.
N300 can be set to any integer value from 0 to 7.

T312 Link Establishment Timer (Idle)

This setting determines how long the UE waits for an N312 "in-sync" indication from
layer 1 when establishing a dedicated channel and the connection status is Idle. T312
can be set to any integer value from 1 to 15.

T312 Link Establishment Timer (Connected)

This setting determines how long the UE waits for an N312 "in-sync" indication from
layer 1 when establishing a dedicated channel in connected status. The value 0 is not
used.

N312 Link Establishment In-Sync Count (Idle)

This setting specifies the number of " in-syncs" required when establishing a
dedicated channel when the connection status is Idle.
N312 can be set to one of the following values: 1, 2, 4, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 400, 600,
800, 1000.

N312 Link Establishment In-Sync Count (Conn.)

This setting specifies the number of " in-syncs" required when establishing a
dedicated channel in connected status.
N312 can be set to one of the following values: 1, 2, 4, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 400, 600,
800, 1000.

T313 Out-of-Sync Reception Timer

3GPP TS 25.331 8.5.6 states that after receiving N313 consecutive "out of sync"
indications from layer, the UE shall start the T313 timer. Upon receiving N315
successive "in sync" indications from layer 1, the UE shall stop and reset the T313
timer. If T313 expires, a "Radio Link failure" has occurred, and the UE shall drop the
call.

N313 Successive Out-Of-Sync Reception Max

N313 specifies the maximum number of successive "out of sync" received from L1.
N313 can be set to one of the following integer values: 1, 2, 4, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200.

RELEASE COMPLETE message.

T3212 Periodic Location Update Timer

T3212 specifies how often the UE will perform the periodic location update
procedure. It is signaled in SIB1.
When T3212 is set to zero, the UE will regard the timer to be infinite.
