T313 Out-of-Sync Reception Timer

3GPP TS 25.331 8.5.6 states that after receiving N313 consecutive "out of sync" indications from layer 1 (see N313
Successive Out-Of-Sync Reception Max ), the UE shall start the T313 timer. Upon receiving N315 successive "in sync"
indications from layer 1 ( N315 Successive In-Sync Reception Counter ), the UE shall stop and reset the T313 timer. If
T313 expires, a "Radio Link failure" has occurred, and the UE shall drop the call.
GPIB Command: CALL[:CELL]:BCCHannel:T313

N313 Successive Out-Of-Sync Reception Max

N313 specifies the maximum number of successive "out of sync" received from L1.
N313 can be set to one of the following integer values: 1, 2, 4, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200.
GPIB Command: CALL[:CELL]:BCCHannel:N313

N315 Successive In-Sync Reception Counter

N315 specifies the maximum number of successive "in sync" received from L1 during T313 is activated.
N315 can be set to one of the following integer values: 1, 2, 4, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000.
GPIB Command: CALL[:CELL]:BCCHannel:N315

T308 RRC Conn Release Comp Retransmit Timer

T308 specifies the time between the transmissions of RRC Connection Release Complete message.
GPIB Command: CALL[:CELL]:BCCHannel:T308

N308 RRC Conn Release Comp Max Retransmits

N308 specifies the maximum number of retransmissions of the RRC CONNECTION RELEASE COMPLETE message.
GPIB Command: CALL[:CELL]:RRC:CRELease:N308

T3212 Periodic Location Update Timer

T3212 specifies how often the UE will perform the periodic location update procedure. It is signaled in SIB1.
When T3212 is set to zero, the UE will regard the timer to be infinite.
GPIB Command: CALL[:CELL]:BCCHannel:T3212

Hello experts,
I have read that both T312 and N312 were broadcast to the UE in SIB 1 and that the T312 was started when UE initiated the
establishment of the DPCH i.e. when the RRC Connection Request message was sent.
Here I have some confusion, when the UE get the T312 value from the RNC (consedering that the RRC Connection Request is the first
message between the UE and the RNC) ?
Could you please explain to me the chronological steps and the relation between T312 and N312.
BR,
Fahmi.

There are actually 2 types of T312 and N312 (N312 / N312 for connected mode / T312 / T312 for connected mode.
N312: This parameter defines the maximum number of "in sync" indications received from L1 during the establishment of a physical
channel (UE counter used in idle mode). When a physical dedicated channel establishment is initiated by the UE, the UE starts a timer
T312 and wait for layer 1 to indicate N312 "in sync" indications. On receiving N312 "in sync" indications, the physical channel is
considered established and the timer T312 is stopped and reset. If the timer T312 expires before the physical channel is established, the

UE considers this as a "physical channel failure".

N312 for connected mode: This parameter defines the maximum number of "in sync" indications received from L1 during the
establishment of a physical channel (UE counter used in connected mode). When a physical dedicated channel establishment is initiated
by the UE, the UE shall start a timer T312 and wait for layer 1 to indicate N312 "in sync" indications. On receiving N312 "in sync"
indications, the physical channel is considered established and the timer T312 is stopped and reset. If the timer T312 expires before the
physical channel is established, the UE considers this as a "physical channel failure".
T312:The parameter defines the timer for supervising successful establishment of a physical channel (UE timer used in idle mode). When
a physical dedicated channel establishment is initiated by the UE, the UE should start a timer T312 and wait for layer 1 to indicate N312
"in sync" indications. On receiving N312 "in sync" indications, the physical channel is considered as established and the timer T312 is
stopped and reset. If the timer T312 expires before the physical channel is established, the UE should consider this as a "physical
channel failure".
T312 for connected mode: The parameter defines the timer for supervising successful establishment of a physical channel (this UE timer
is used in connected mode). When a physical dedicated channel establishment is initiated by the UE, the UE should start a timer T312
and wait for layer 1 to indicate N312 "in sync" indications. On receiving N312 "in sync" indications, the physical channel is considered as
established and the timer T312 is stopped and reset. If the timer T312 expires before the physical channel is established, the UE should
consider this as a "physical channel failure".

As I understood, even UE in idle mode (no need RRC Connection Request), UE could listen SIB from network

Yes, In fact SIB1 is broadcasted on BCH. So that even in idle, the UE gets the T312 and N312 values from the RNC and use them.
