N311

Consecutive In-Sync Counter

RRC counter tracking consecutive in-sync indications delivered by physical layer to stop timer T310.

Technical Explanation

While timer T310 is running, if radio conditions improve and PDCCH BLER falls below threshold Qin, physical layer sends in-sync indications. When N311 consecutive in-sync indications are accumulated (values in {n1, n2, n3, n4, n5, n6, n8, n10}), RRC stops timer T310, successfully preventing Radio Link Failure.

Key Functions

  • Counts consecutive physical layer in-sync indications
  • Triggered when PDCCH channel quality recovers above threshold Qin
  • Stops timer T310 to avert impending Radio Link Failure
