/* TBF Starting Time for assigning SBA.
 * See TS 44.060 12.21 "Starting Frame Number Description".
 * According to spec, k=0 (offset=4) "should not be used, so as to leave time
 * for the MS to analyze the message and get ready to receive or transmit".
 * Hence, k=1 (offset=8-9) is theoretically the minimum offset which could be
 * used.
 *
 * However, it was found, empirically, that it takes around 30-40 FNs time for
 * the Immediate Assignment message created with this "TBF Starting Time" to
 * travel from PCU->BTS and be transmitted over CCCH on the Um interface. Hence,
 * we must account for this delay here, otherwise the MS would be receiving eg.
 * a TBF Starting Time of FN=40 while the Imm Assigned containing it is sent in
 * eg. FN=50, which would be too late for the MS to answer to it.
 *
 * The situation described above, can even get worse on high BTS load for AGCH,
 * since the Immediate Assignment will queue in the BTS waiting to be
 * transmitted one after the other, hence increasing the required delay.
