Detach Procedure
Results after any attach procedure
The SGSN shall not service the detached MS, unless reattach The MS is in idle or PMM-DETACHED state
The MS is detached either explicitly or implicitly:
Explicit detach: The network or the MS explicitly requests detach Implicit detach: The network detaches the MS, without notifying the MS, a configuration-dependent time after the mobile reachable timer expired, or after an irrecoverable radio error causes disconnection of the logical link.
