+GSM 04.08 3.4.13: RR connection release procedure
+
+* network sends RR CHANNEL RELEASE to MS on the DCCH
+ * start T3109
+ * deactivate SACCH
+* MS disconnects main signalling link (by sending DISC)
+ * all other data links are disconnected by local end link release
+* network receives DISC (BTS sends RLL REL IND to BSC)
+ * stop T3109
+ * start T3111
+* when T3111 times out, the network can reuse the channls
+* if T3109 times out, the network deactivates the channels
+ and can reuse them
+ * this probably means simply RF CHANnel RELease
