1. A method comprising:
- detecting, by a user equipment (UE), a radio link failure condition;
in response to detecting the radio link failure condition, sending by a radio resource control (RRC) of the UE, a cell update message to a medium access control (MAC) of the UE;
starting a cell update timer of the UE upon sending the cell update message from the RRC of the UE to the MAC of the UE and before receiving, from the MAC, confirmation of transmission of the cell update message by the MAC to a network;
detecting, by the UE, that a timer associated with a radio access bearer has expired before receiving the confirmation from the MAC; and
releasing the radio access bearer only in response to expiration of the cell update timer.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus to audibly provide messages in a mobile device at described. An example method includes detecting a radio link failure condition, in response to detecting the radio link failure condition, sending a cell update message to a medium access control of the user equipment, detecting that a timer associated with a radio access bearer has expired before receiving confirmation from the medium access control of transmission of the cell update message to a network, and in response to detecting that the timer associated with the radio access bearer has expired and sending the cell update message to the medium access control, maintaining the radio access bearer associated with the timer.

1. A method comprising:
-
detecting, by a user equipment (UE), a radio link failure condition; in response to detecting the radio link failure condition, sending by a radio resource control (RRC) of the UE, a cell update message to a medium access control (MAC) of the UE; starting a cell update timer of the UE upon sending the cell update message from the RRC of the UE to the MAC of the UE and before receiving, from the MAC, confirmation of transmission of the cell update message by the MAC to a network; detecting, by the UE, that a timer associated with a radio access bearer has expired before receiving the confirmation from the MAC; and releasing the radio access bearer only in response to expiration of the cell update timer. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4)

5. A user equipment (UE) comprising a processor configured to:
-
detect a radio link failure condition; in response to detection of the radio link failure condition, send by a radio resource control (RRC) of the UE, a cell update message to a medium access control (MAC) of the UE; start a cell update timer of the UE upon sending the cell update message from the RRC of the UE to the MAC of the UE and before receiving, from the MAC, confirmation of transmission of the cell update message by the MAC to a network; detect, by the UE, that a timer associated with a radio access bearer has expired before receiving the confirmation from the MAC; and release the radio access bearer only in response to expiration of the cell update timer. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)

9. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause a user equipment (UE) to:
-
detect a radio link failure condition; in response to detection of the radio link failure condition, send by a radio resource control (RRC) of the UE, a cell update message to a medium access control (MAC) of the UE; start a cell update timer of the UE upon sending the cell update message from the RRC of the UE to the MAC of the UE and before receiving, from the MAC, confirmation of transmission of the cell update message by the MAC to a network; detect, by the UE, that a timer associated with a radio access bearer has expired before receiving the confirmation from the MAC; and release the radio access bearer only in response to expiration of the cell update timer. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
