    UTRAN Radio Link Failure

    This document discusses radio link failure detection timers on the UE and UTRAN sides. It explains that increasing these timers allows more time for radio conditions to improve before a radio link failure is declared. Specifically, it outlines the timers used by the UE (T313) and UTRAN (rlFailureT, dchRcLostT, hsDschRcLostT) to detect radio link failures and explains it is important for the UTRAN timers to expire after the UE's T313 timer to avoid premature call drops. Aligning the uplink and downlink timers helps ensure the radio link is given sufficient time to recover before release.

    UE/UTRAN Radio Link Failure

    3.1.4.1 Background

    Layer 1 timers for Radio Link Failure on UE and RNC side can be increased. That way
    more time is allowed for the UE to be in poor radio before the radio connection is
    improved again. This way the risk for dropped call is reduced.

    The time for UE Radio Link Failure is calculated using parameter N313 and timer T313.
    After receiving N313 (default: 100) consecutive "out of sync" indications from layer 1,
    the UE starts timer T313. If T313 expires, the UE consider it as a Radio Link Failure and
    goes to Idle. The total time for the UE to detect RL failure is calculated as:

    Total time UE = N313 * 10 ms + T313

    UTRAN RL failure detection is controlled by the Radio Connection Supervision (RCS) and
    Radio Link Set (RLS) Supervision functions. After receiving nOutSyncInd (default: 10)
    consecutive frames, UTRAN starts timer rlFailureT (default: 1s). If rlFailureT expires,
    the RLS function considers the connection as out-of-sync and reports RL Failure to SRNC.
    When RL Failure is received on all radio links in the connection, the SRNC starts timer
    dchRcLostT and when it expires the connection is considered lost by RCS and the call is
    counted as dropped. The total time for UTRAN to detect RL failure:

    Total time RNC = nOutSyncInd * 10 ms + rlFailureT + dchRcLostT

    For a connection that includes HSDPA, the PS part of the connection is considered lost by
    the RCS when the RLS that contains the Serving HS-DSCH cell, has been out-of-sync for
    a time given by the parameter hsDschRcLostT. This means that when the
    hsDschRcLostT timer expires, an Iu Release will be requested to the PS CN and when
    the dchRcLostT timer expires, an Iu Release will be requested to all involved CNs, if call
    re-establishment is OFF. If call re-establishment is ON, Iu connecetion for any PS RAB is
    released while UE enters CELL_FACH, searches for suitable cell and sends cell update and
    the CS call is re-established on that cell.

    The total time for UTRAN to detect RL failure for the serving HS-DSCH radio link:

    Total time RNC, HS = nOutSyncInd * 10 ms + rlFailureT + hsDschRcLostT


    Figure 1 Interaction between Uplink Timer dchRcLostT and Downlink Timer T313 (with
    Default Values)

    Figure 1 shows how uplink and downlink RCS interacts (with default parameters). When
    the UE looses sync in the downlink it will turn off its transmitter and only monitor
    downlink until in sync again. Since the UE is turning off its transmitter there will be no in
    sync detected in the uplink. To recover the radio link the UE must get in sync on the
    downlink, and then start to transmit on the uplink again.

    It is important to align timers on uplink and downlink to detect RL. If, for example,
    dchRcLostT is set to a short value, then setting the timer T313 to a long value will
    make no difference, since the call will be released when timer dchRcLostT expires. It is
    important to set the timer dchRcLostT to a longer value than T313, so that the system
    does not release the call before the UE goes to idle (at expiry of T313).
