----------

-The RRC model supports a much simplified idle mode cell selection
-process. With respect to [TS36304]_, the main simplifications are:
-
- - at most one PLMN and one CSG id are supported
- - w.r.t. section 5.2.2, the only states supported are "Initial cell
- selection", "Camped normally", "Connected"
- - a simplified cell selection/reselection criterion is adopted, according to
- which the cell with the highest RSRP that matches the PLMN (and CSG
- if specified) is selected.

+Radio Link Failure
+------------------
+
+Since at this stage the RRC supports the CONNECTED mode only, Radio Link
+Failure (RLF) is not handled. The reason is that one of the possible
+outcomes of RLF (when RRC re-establishment is unsuccessful) is to
+leave RRC CONNECTED notifying the NAS of the RRC connection
+failure. In order to model RLF properly, RRC IDLE mode should be
+supported.
+
+With the current model, an UE that experiences bad link quality will
+just stay associated with the same eNB, and the scheduler will stop
+allocating resources to it for communications. This is also consistent
+with the fact that, at this stage, only handovers explicitly triggered
+within the simulation program are supported (network-driven handovers
+based on UE measurements are planned only at a later stage).
