If a new LLC PDU is attached to LLC Frame during WAIT RELEASE state, the
state is changed to FLOW (downlink flow is assigned to MS).

Handling of LLC Frame on uplink TBF:
Received uplink blocks are appended to LLC Frame of TBF. If the PDU is
complete, it is forwarded to the upper layer.

+Control TS:
