If the uplink SIR target has reached the maximum, and the uplink

controller from the current active PC Entity during
ULQualDetRepThreshold seconds are all greater than zero, then the
uplink outer loop PC controller sends a quality deterioration report

repeated, with ULQualDetREpTreshold defining the period, until
either the quality target is resumed, meaning that the condition
