LTE Timers Function at Start/Stop/Expiry

>>Starts at the RRC connection REQ transmit

>>Stops at the Receipt of RRC connection setup or reject message OR at the cell reselection time OR upon
abortion of connection establishment by Higher layers (L2/L3).
T300 >>At the expiry performs the actions

>>Starts at the RRC Connection Re-establishment REQUEST

>>Stops at the Receipt of RRC Connection Re-establishment OR
RRC Connection Re-Establishment REJECT message OR
When selected cell becomes unsuitable to continue further
T301 >>At expiry, it Go to RRC_IDLE mode

>>Starts when access is barred while performing RRC CONNECTION ESTABLISHMENT for MO(Mobile
Originating) calls
>>Stops while entering RRC_CONNECTED and upon cell re-selection mode
T303 >>At expiry, Informs higher layers about barring alleviation

>>Starts at the Receipt of RRC CONNECTION RECONFIGURATION message along with Mobility Control Info
OR at the receipt of mobility from EUTRA command message including CELL CHANGE ORDER
>>Stops at the successful completion of HANDOVER to EUTRA or CELL CHANGE ORDER is met
>>At expiry, it performs action based on need.
1. In the case of CELL CHANGE ORDER from E-UTRA OR intra E-UTRA handover, initiate the RRC connection
re-establishment procedure.
2. In case of HANDOVER to E-UTRA, perform the actions defined as per the specifications applicable for the
T304 source RAT.

>>starts when access is barred while performing RRC CONNECTION ESTABLISHMENT for MO signaling
>>Stops when entering RRC_CONNECTED and when UE does cell re-selection
T305 >> At expiry, Informs higher layers about barring alleviation

>>Starts when UE detects PHY layer related problems (when it receives N310 consecutive out-of-sync INDs
from lower layers)
>>Stops 1. When UE receives N311 consecutive in-sync INDs from lower layers/
2. Upon triggering the HANDOVER procedure
3. Upon initiating the CONNECTION RE-ESTABLISHMENT procedure
>> At expiry, if security is not activated it goes to RRC IDLE else it initiates the CONNECTION RE-
T310 ESTABLISHMENT Procedure

>>Starts while initiating RRC CONNECTION RE-ESTABLISHMENT procedure

>>stops upon selection of suitable E-UTRA cell OR a cell using another RAT
T311 >>At expiry it enters RRC IDLE state

>> Starts upon receipt of t320 or upon cell re- selection to E-UTRA from another RAT with validity time
configured for dedicated priorities (in which case the remaining validity time is applied).
>>Stops upon entering RRC_CONNECTED state, when PLMN selection is performed on request by NAS OR
upon cell re-selection to another RAT
T320 >> At expiry, it discards the cell re-selection priority info provided by dedicated signaling

>>starts upon receipt of measConfig including a reportConfig with the purpose set to reportCGI
>> Stops at either of following cases:
1. Upon acquiring the information needed to set all fields of globalCellId for the requested cell
2. upon receipt of measConfig that includes removal of the reportConfig with the purpose set to reportCGI
>> At expiry initiates the measurement reporting procedure, stop performing the related measurements and
T321 remove the corresponding measID
