L3L4ReleaseInd message to the GCM module. Then it starts this timer, and waits
for an L4L3ReleaseAck message from the GCM module. If this timer expires, the
TUP module releases the call.
1. After the TUP module receives a REL message, it correctly decodes the
message. Then the TUP module starts this timer, and waits for a
processing response message from the call processing module.
2. If the TUP module has received an L4L3ReleaseAck message before
this timer expires, it stops this timer, and encodes the RLC message.

3. If this timer expires, and if the TUP module is in the dual-seizure status,
it releases this call, and then encodes the RLC message and notifies the
