LTE EPS mobility management timers - EMM timers

Lately many times I had to reach towards the EPS Mobility Management (EMM) timers, because it took me ABOUT ME
some time to google them here you go. Hope any one will find them as useful I did.

In the two tables you can easily find the times name it's default or suggested value, what is triggering it and
what happens in case it will finally expire.
