HUAWEI AND ZTE RRC REESTABLISHMENT

Background, Activation and parameter recommendations

The physical layer of the UE is able to generate an in-sync or out-of-sync primitive once every 10 ms radio frame. It is also possible that conditions are such that neither primitive is generated during a radio frame. The in-sync or out-of-sync primitives are reported to the RRC layer which is then responsible for acting appropriately. If N313 (default 20) consecutive out of-sync primitives are received then the UE starts timer T313 (default 3 s). If N315 (default 1) successive in-sync indicators are received while T313 is running then the UE stops T313 and the UE remains synchronized

If T313 expires before N315 in-sync indicators have been received the UE recognizes that radio link failure has occurred. At this stage the UE releases its dedicated physical channel configuration and attempts to complete a cell update using the random access channel.

Either or both of timers T314 (default 12 s) and T315 (default 180 s) are started. The early versions of 3GPP TS 25.331 stated that T314 should be associated with transparent and unacknowledged mode radio bearers whereas T315 should be associated with acknowledged mode radio bearers. This definition was subsequently removed, allowing the RNC to select which Radio Access Bearers (RAB) to associate with each timer. The relevant timer is now signaled as part of the RAB establishment procedure.

T302: (Proposed to change from 2 sec to 1.4 Sec)RRC Connected mode timer, sent in SIB 1 and UTRAN Mobility Information Start :When MAC layer indicates success or failure of sending either a Cell Update or a URA Update. Stop: When a Cell Update Confirm or URA Update Confirm is received. Upon Expiry: Re-transmit the Cell Update or URA update if V302<= N302 Otherwise enter RRC Idle mode. T313: (Proposed to be changed from 5 Sec to 3 Sec s) RRC Connected Mode Timer, Sent in SIB1 and UTRAN Mobility Information Start :When UE detects N313 consecutive 'out of sync indications from L1. Stop: When UE detects N315 consecutive in sync indications from L1. Upon Expiry: The criteria for radio link failure is fulfilled.

T314: (Proposed to be changed from 20 Sec to 12 Sec),RRC Connected Mode, sent in SIB 1 and UTRAN Mobility Information Start :When the criteria for radio link failure is fulfilled, if RB associated with T314 exist or if only RRC connection exists. Stop : When the Cell Update procedure has been completed. Upon Expiry: If T302 is running then await Cell/URA Update Confirm. Else, release RB associated with T314, and enter RRC Idle ifT314 is not running.
