RRC: Radio Bearer Setup

Soft handover is not allowed during the RAB establishment procedure (The mobile can not add or remove cells in AS) this makes the
UE and Node B particularly sensitive to mobility and dominance Timer wf_rb_setup_cpl (6s) is started when the RRC: Radio Bearer
Setup message is sent to the UE In case the timer expires Iu Release Request is sent to the CN with release cause (radio_conn_lost)
