-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

-== Implementation in OpenBSC ==
-
-There are two possible reasons a gsm_subscriber_connection
-will be released. One is a network failure, the other is
-the completion of an operation/transaction.
-
-=== Failure ===
-The BSC API will call the gsm_04_08.c:gsm0408_clear_request callback
-and the MSC part will release all transactions, operations and such
-and the channels will be released as error case.
-
-=== Success ===
-Every time an 'operation' or 'transaction' is finished msc_release_connection
-will be called and it will determine if the gsm_subscriber_connection can
-be released.
-
-In case it can be released bsc_api.c:gsm0808_clear will be called
-which will release all lchan's associated with the connection. For the
-primary channel a SACH Deactivate will be send with the release
-reason NORMAL RELEASE.
-
-
-bsc_api.c:gsm0808_clear
- * Release a channel used for handover
- * Release the primary lchan with normal release, SACH deactivate
-
-chan_alloc.c:lchan_release(chan, sacch_deactivate, reason)
- * Start the release procedure. It is working in steps with callbacks
- coming from the abis_rsl.c code.
- * Release all SAPI's > 0 as local end (The BTS should send a
- REL_CONF a message)
- * Send SACH Deactivate on SAPI=0 if required.
- * Start T3109 (stop it when the main signalling link is disconnected)
- or when the channel released. On timeout start the error handling.
- * abis_rsl.c schedules the RSL_MT_RF_CHAN_REL once all SAPI's are
- released and after T3111 has timed out or there is an error.
-
-RX of RELease INDication:
- * Calls internal rsl_handle_release which might release the RF.
-
-RX of RELease CONFirmation:
- * Calls internal rsl_handle_release which might release the RF.
-
-* RX of RF_CHAN_REL_ACK
- * call lchan_free()
-
-
-=== Integration with SMS ===
-
-* RX of CP_ERROR or unimplemented MT
- * trigger trans_free() which will msc_release_connection()
-
-* CP TC1* expired while waiting for CP-ACK
- * trigger trans_free() which will msc_release_connection()
-
-* RX of RP_ERROR
- * trigger trans_free() which will msc_release_connection()
-
-* TX of CP-ACK in MT DELIVER
- * trigger trans_free() which will msc_release_connection()
-
-* RX of CP-ACK in MO SUBMIT
- * trigger trans_free() which will msc_release_connection()
