** : If no RR connection exists, the MM sublayer within the mobile station will request the RR sublayer to
establish a RR connection. If establishment of the RR connection is not possible because a suitable cell is
not (or not yet) available then, the mobile station shall try for a period of at least 5 seconds and for not
more than a period of 20 seconds to find a suitable cell. If a suitable cell is found during this time then, the
mobile station shall request the RR sublayer to establish an RR connection, otherwise the IMSI detach is
aborted.
If a RR connection exists, the MM sublayer will release locally any ongoing MM connections before
the IMSI DETACH IND message is sent.
