N310

Consecutive Out-of-Sync Counter

RRC counter tracking consecutive out-of-sync indications delivered by physical layer to start timer T310.

Technical Explanation

The physical layer evaluates PDCCH BLER against threshold Qout. Each time BLER exceeds Qout, an out-of-sync indication is sent to RRC. When N310 consecutive out-of-sync indications are received (values in {n1, n2, n3, n4, n6, n8, n10, n20}), RRC starts timer T310 to supervise potential link failure.

Key Functions

  • Counts consecutive physical layer out-of-sync indications
  • Triggered when PDCCH block error rate exceeds threshold Qout
  • Starts radio link failure timer T310 upon reaching configured threshold
