1. An apparatus comprising:

  • a physical layer interface to provide physical layer processing of messages to be transmitted or received over a wireless network; and

    a processor coupled with the physical layer interface to;

    generate a routing area update request or an attach request to include an indicator to cause a network to provide the apparatus with an extended timer value, the routing area update request or attach request to be transmitted by the physical layer interface;

    identify the extended timer value from an accept message received in response to the routing area update request or attach request;

    determine a value of a timer based on the extended timer value; and

    perform a routing area update procedure or an attach procedure based on the value of the timer,wherein the timer is a T3312 timer or a T3412 timer and the accept message includes the extended timer value in an octet with bits 1-5 of the octet to represent a binary-coded timer value and bits 6-8 of the octet to define a unit of the extended timer value, wherein the unit is an increment greater than 10 hours.
