Supervision of UE in RRC

Connected State
Algorithm:
1. UE detects a certain number (N310) of out-of-sync indications  timer
T310 is started.

2. no recovery (N311 in-sync indications) is detected before T310
expires?  RRC Connection Reestablishment is triggered and timer

Algorithm:
3. If the UE has not found a cell (with a new cell reselection) to send the
RRC Connection Reestablishment to, before T311 expires, it releases
the resources and goes to RRC_IDLE.

Algorithm:
4. If RBS receives the RRC Connection Reestablishment Request
message and if the feature RRC Connection re-establishment is not
active, it will send RRC Connection Reestablishment Reject to the UE
which will go to RRC_IDLE .

Algorithm:
5. If there is a UE context in the cell which the UE triggered RRC
Connection Reestablishment to, the RBS will trigger a release of that
UE context  No handover is allowed

Retransmit PDU with polling bit
‘ulMaxRetxThreshold’ = 8 (default)

Retransmission # n Retransmit PDU with polling bit

n = maximum allowed number of retransmissions

=> UE will attempt RRC Re-establishment
